CHRISTMAS WISH LIST
All we want for Chrismas ... The staff and various HorseVibes contributors have put in their horsey wish list. What would yours include? We all wish you a Very Merry Christmas, and hope the ‘horse’ is with you through this festive season.We’ve gone through our lists to show you what our top nine equestrian picks for presents are and the best part is, they’ll all fit under the Christmas tree!
Penny Newbold Columnist “I’ve been very patient, but it’s been over a year since I’ve owned a horse (one that I can actually ride I mean!) so I’d really, really like Santa to bring me a new horse for Christmas.

She’s already wearing a pre-Christmas present, the amazing EQU StreamZ magnetic fetlock bands to help speed up healing, but the best present of all would be for her healing to be as swift and complete as it can be, and anything that will help her on that route. Other than that, if I win the lottery an indoor arena would be nice, a dressage Schoolmaster, a few new saddles and a couple of riding holidays! Nothing over the top. But otherwise, a fully recovered horse (even though she may never be a riding horse again) is top of my wish list this year.”
