Here are a few fun and easy ideas to make your equestrian space feel extra special this season.

Choose a Holiday Theme

Before diving in, decide on a theme that suits your style. Whether you prefer the classic red-and-green holiday look or a winter wonderland vibe with whites, blues, and silver, choosing a theme can help guide your decorating choices.

Traditional Holiday Theme

Classic reds, greens, and gold always make things feel festive. Hang wreaths on the barn doors, add stockings to each stall, and string red bows on tack hooks for a touch of holiday charm.

Winter Wonderland Theme

Turn your stable into a snowy paradise with white garlands, faux snow, and icicle lights. Soft, cool tones like silver and blue create a magical, wintery feel.

Rustic Holiday Theme

If you prefer a cozier, earthy vibe, go rustic with natural elements. Pinecones, fresh greenery, and burlap decorations add a charming country feel that complements any stable.

Decorate Your Tack Room

Your tack room is the heart of your equestrian space, so why not make it festive?

Festive Storage Solutions

Organize your tack with holiday-themed bins or baskets. Swap out your regular name tags with fun, custom holiday labels for a personal touch.

Lighting

String holiday lights around the room or along shelves to create a warm glow. Use battery-powered lanterns or LED candles for a safe, cozy ambiance for the barn.

Holiday Accents

Add garlands or wreaths to your walls or doors. You can even incorporate custom horse gear in holiday colors, like saddle pads or blankets, to make your space both functional and festive.

Dress Up Your Stable

Don’t leave the stable out of the fun! Adding a few decorations to your horses’ stalls will give the whole barn a holiday feel.

Holiday Stall Décor

Hang stockings or garlands on each stall door. Personalize the look by adding custom nameplates in festive fonts or colors.

Outdoor Lighting

String lights along the barn’s exterior or around doorways. Use solar-powered or battery-operated lights to keep it safe around hay and bedding.

Safety Considerations

When decorating your stable or tack room, always keep safety in mind. Avoid placing decorations where horses can reach them, especially small items that could be ingested. Stick to battery-operated or solar-powered lights instead of open flames or plug-in lights around the barn to prevent fire hazards.

Looking to make this holiday season extra special? Custom gear makes the perfect gift for any equestrian or horse lover.
