Washington, DC, November 05, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The Emmy Award-winning team of TV producers and equestrians at Equitrekking have launched a Gift Guide on Equitrekking.com to help shoppers find exceptional horse-inspired gifts for all budgets and tastes this holiday season, based on their own global travels and horseback riding adventures.

The new, special section of Equitrekking.com features equestrian and travel inspired jewelry, apparel, books, toys, horse treats and art. The Equitrekking team selected creative and unusual finds, including horsey chocolates, a life sized stuffed pony for kids, vintage jewelry, personalized art and more, categorizing best picks for the holidays, horse owners, active equestrians and trail riders to make navigating the guide easy and fun.
