There’s so much great gear about for horsey kids, we’re actually kind of jealous. Check this lot out…

Practical yet absolutely gorgeous, these long leather lace-up boots have an elasticated panel at the back allowing room for the child’s legs to grow. And they come in a choice of colours, perfect for matching with your pony’s saddlecloth and bandages. Talking of which…
Colour-blocking is all the rage in high fashion circles, doncha know? So naturally, it’s extended to the equestrian world, and if you want your pony to work this couture look, you need one of these colour-popping saddlepads in black, purple, orange, red, royal blue or green. With matching bandages, natch.
In the noble tradition of the Ruby Ferguson ‘Jill’ books that some of us (ahem) slightly older riders remember from our childhoods, author Stacey Gregg has written a bunch of horsey bestsellers for teens and younger girls. Starting with Mystic and the Midnight Ride, your daughter (or sister) will be spellbound.
