  Many horse owners love to celebrate their animals' birthdays, and those horse lovers have a number of choices when it comes to gifts. Choosing a combination of items the horse will love with practical items owners will appreciate is the perfect way to celebrate your four legged friend's special day.
  
  

Homemade Horse Cookies

• A gift of homemade cookies is one option for a horse's birthday. These cookies are different than the human variety, with lots of oats, molasses and grains. You can make your own batch of horse cookies at home, or you can buy them at many tack shops and farmers markets.
  
  

Personalized Turnout Sheet

• Turnout sheets are designed to protect horses from the elements throughout the year and protect their hair coats from damage. A personalized turnout sheet makes a wonderful gift for a horse's birthday. These sheets are the type of practical gift that both horse and rider can appreciate. To make the gift even more special, look for a turnout sheet in a color that compliments the color of the horse. For instance, a black horse will look great in a yellow or bright green turnout sheet, while a white horse would look wonderful in a deep purple or black sheet. You can order these custom embroidered sheets at tack shops and from catalogs that sell horse supplies.
  
  

Stall Plaque

• A plaque with your horse's name on it makes a great gift for an equine birthday, or the birthday of a horse lover. These plaques can be simple, with just the horse's name, or elaborate, with fancy designs and multiple colors. Stall plaques are available at a wide number of places, including woodworking shops, tack shops, county fairs and Internet retailers.
