The Wide Appeal Of Equestrian Home Decor
Equestrian home decor gives horse lovers a chance to show their love and appreciation for their four-legged friends. There are all kinds of home furnishings, accessories, and accents that feature a horse of some sort. It might be a table lamp with a horse sculpture on the base, a comforter that depicts horses running across a meadow, or a piece of wall art with a horse theme.
There are many reasons for the wide appeal of equestrian home decor. First, many people simpl
y admire the form and beauty of the animal. Also, a horse might be reminiscent of time spent on a grandparent’s farm or a summer camp where you learned to ride.
You might have seen examples of equestrian home decor in all sorts of homes, but the horse-themed decor that we’re most fond of is found in homes with one of the casual styles of home decorating, such as western, rustic, southwestern, or country. Some people might be surprised to know that an increasingly large percentage of horse-themed decor is in homes of people that do not own horses.
Take a moment to think about your favorite horses from books, movies, or television. A few that come to mind for us are Trigger (the horse of Roy Rogers), Silver and Scout (the horses of the Lone Ranger and his sidekick Tonto), Black Beauty, My Friend Flicka, and the mischievous Mr. Ed. Back in the 1950s and 1960s, many children in grade school had a lunch box that featured one of these horses.
Okay, let’s take a little trip down memory lane. How many of us had a rocking horse when we were kids? How about a blanket with cowboys and/or cowgirls and horses? Anything else with a horse on it? Yes, there’s a chance that you had some sort of equestrian home decor back then and did not even realize it.
There are horse-themed figurines, statuettes, and pottery dating back centuries from different cultures that created the pieces to honor the horse. The pieces that still exist are often a real treasure for a collector.
Whether you want to decorate an entire room with equestrian home decor or just add a few pieces here and there, you can find a wide variety of items to accent your home, such as a horse-themed fireplace screen, wall art, bedding, rugs, throw pillows, and so much more.
Adding equestrian home decor in your bedroom can be accomplished with a few simple horse-themed items such as a well-placed picture or two, a comfy floor rug, and a lamp and/or lampshade. Let’s not forget the bedding and comforter. With their large surface area, they can show one or more horses in a pastoral setting or running free across a hillside.
Equestrian home decor is great for kids’ rooms as well. Here, you can brighten a child’s room with images of colts and fillies playing in a field. The kids will love a wooden rocking horse. Children’s bedding has many designs with horses to choose from. You can also take the room decor one step further with an age-appropriate lamp that has horses depicted on the base or the shade. The finishing touch would be a decorative, yet playful horse design on a wall border.
Whatever your reason for being attracted to equestrian home decor, you can be assured that you will have plenty of decorative items to choose from.

To whom it may concern,
We’re a small, but fast growing company based in The Netherlands at the moment. We’re starting our own branch in California very soon.
We buy old, well worn horseshoes from blacksmiths who can’t use them anymore. After cleaning them thoroughly, we engrave them with a personal text, making it a rather cute, customized good luck gift. On our website, http://www.goodluckhorseshoes.com there are many possibilities to choose from regarding gold- or chrome plated models, and other colors. Even little miniature ones!
We came across your website and thought you might like these gift ideas for example awards, engraving horses’ names for their stable doors, when children or other beginners complete a level at a riding school, weddings, birthdays or just a cute horseshoe gift for a loved one!
We also donate $1 for every horseshoe we sell, to the SPCA in the hopes to spread a little luck and help save a homeless animal.
If this is something that interests you or if you would like to help spread the word by either exchanging links on our respective websites, or by word of mouth only, please let us know!
Best of luck in life!
Take care,
