Gifts for Rodeo Cowboys and Cowgirls
Rodeo Apparel
Cowboys and cowgirls grow like weeds. They constantly need new apparel for practice and competition. Apparel can make an excellent gift for your rodeo friends and family.
Boots
Every rodeo cowboy or cowgirl needs a good pair of boots. Boots face grueling conditions and must stand up to competition and the elements. Western-style boots are designed to withstand the elements, stirrups, and wear and tear. A good pair of boots will also support and stabilize the foot and ankle.
Cowboy Hats and Helmets
Rodeos and cowboy hats go hand in hand. A cowboy hat completes the look of every competitor and spectator at the rodeo and protects your head and face from the sun and other elements. For many competitors, a helmet is also necessary. After all, a helmet is an important accessory for safety. Both helmets and cowboy hats come in various sizes and styles. Many rodeo competitors choose a felt hat because it is durable, water-resistant, and shapeable.
Gloves
Gloves can be a stylish accessory and a fantastic way to protect your hands. Rodeo gloves are usually made from leather to protect the skin. Some gloves have extra padding to protect specific parts of the hand from shock or wear from rope.
Chaps
Chaps are another protective accessory for your rodeo girls and boys. After all, chaps are designed to protect the legs from injury or abrasion through events. Most often, they are made from leather and come in various styles.
Protective Vests
Many competitions demand protective vests for all participants. Bull and bronc riding are particularly dangerous, and the added protection is worth it. These vests protect the core of the body from impact and shock.
Personalized Gifts
If your rodeo star already has their apparel, you may seek a more personalized gift.
Belt Buckles
Belt buckles are closely associated with the rodeo. The prize of many rodeo competitions is a fancy belt buckle. You can choose one that your cowboy or cowgirl will love. Belt buckles come in various colors and metals, including silver, brass, and copper. Moreover, you can add jewels and decorations or engrave them.
Monogrammed Saddle Pads
A personalized saddle pad can give the finishing touch to any riding duo. While riders always add a saddle pad under their saddle for comfort, a personalized one will make an amazing gift. You can monogram the rider’s initials, the horse’s name, the team name, or the stable name.
Care for Your Cowboy and Cowgirl
Skincare
The skin of your cowboy or cowgirl faces many grueling conditions. Not only will they face the sun, wind, dirt, and mud, but riding is a rough sport that leads to many cuts and abrasions. Any rider would appreciate a gift of skin-protecting products. Of course, sunscreen protects from the sun’s dangers. However, you can also add a good moisturizer, lip balm, and healing cream to combat the wind, dirt, and abrasions.
Muscle Recovery
Not only is rodeo harsh on the skin, but it is also tough on the body. To succeed, riders use their whole body to ride and compete. Massage, rollers, and muscle cream can all help your cowboy. Overall, you want to alleviate soreness and promote circulation to aid healing.
