Welcome to the 2024 edition of The Plaid Horse Holiday Gift Guide!
As we draw closer to the end of the year and spirits lift with the coming of holiday festivities, I wish to remind everyone that this is the season of giving.
With this year being an election year, and natural disasters shaking everyone inside and outside the equestrian community, it’s more important than ever to come together to support each other.
It has been great to see so many facets of our industry working together during this uncertain time to offer whatever they can to provide safety, shelter, and necessities in the wake of recent events. I wish to see this continue in the future for more than just because disaster struck.
I believe we can continue this trend of generosity and support. I believe we can apply it to the lives of everyone in our community to provide opportunities that would otherwise exclude so many of those wishing to help our sport do better.
As you explore this year’s wonderful Gift Guide, take a closer look at the non-profits. Take a closer look at the brands who have supported our community. Take the opportunity to help our community do–and be–better.
Thank you to everyone in our community who aspires to make it better!
Happy Holidays,

Seasons Greetings EQUINE RESIDENCES TM from
your friends at
Equine Residences is so honored to be asked to come back for a second feature in TPH! We have been hard at work building the business and bringing architecture/design to equestrian facilities world-wide. With a hectic 2023 and an even more insane 2024 (8 trips to Europe and countless trips to Wellington and beyond in under 2 years), we are honored to share some new images of our work with everyone.
We have loved getting to meet and know so many people in the equestrian industry, in person and online, and really spread our design wings in new directions. From a very traditional project in the Netherlands, to a contemporary facility in the Middle East, our design-eye has had a workout. Not to mention the AI work that has resonated with so many on Instagram and Pinterest!
As well, we have had the opportunity to collaborate with companies from all over the globe. Our partnership with Manifattura VALOR GmbH, based in Germany, with a flock of the rarest sheep
on the planet in the Italian Alps, has yielded custom saddle pads, rugs, furnishings, dog beds and accessories, all designed as ERxMV in the finest wools and wool felts in the marketplace.
And our custom flooring in conjunction with 100% recycled rubber manufacturer Adoquines de Caucho S.A. out of Colombia is one-ofa-kind.
As we begin to prepare for the holiday season and a thrilling equestrian calendar in 2025, look out for our future collaborations that will be launched at WEF 2025 in Welllington, Florida, as well as exciting news in our AI / e-commerce space, an announcement with a beloved animal sanctuary, an ER offshoot, new and exclusive furniture designs, and a delightful association with a fellow equestrian / tastemaker you will LOVE!
Cheers to a great 2024 and an excellent forthcoming holiday season and new year!
