The Clifton Saddlery Is Much More Than Santa's Choice for Equestrians

The Saddlery offers an extraordinary range of gifts for all ages.

 

The Clifton Saddlery, located at 12644 Chapel Road in Clifton, is an
ideal place to find the perfect gift for any horse-lover on your list. Parking is
ample and convenient, the staff is helpful, and, most importantly, the merchandise is exceptional.

Perhaps you want something for a little girl or a baby. Take a look at
the "ones-ies" with horses embroidered on the front, the precious, plush
horse slippers and the appliquéd T-shirts. How about dressing that lucky girl
in a Pink Ponies raincoat and umbrella with a matching hat, tote, and scarf?

Clifton Saddlery stocks a variety of the popular Paradise Horse models, as well as their realistic riders, barns, tack, and grooming and feeding equipment.  Stuffed animals, horse throws and pillows, sleeping bags, duffle bags, water bottle holders, and area rugs are gifts many young equestrians would love.

What about the adults on your list, particularly those who have
everything they need for their horses? Picture frames, trivets made from
horseshoes, letter openers, pen sets in elegant wood cases, key chains,
sterling bracelets and charms, necklaces and earrings - any of these would
make me happy.

Items for home décor are carefully selected by owner Liz Nuti.

Arthur Court's sand-cast, hand-polished aluminum serving dishes are stunning, and the choices of tasteful bookends, statues, drawer pulls, lamps, hand towels, garden art, door-knockers and sconces in brass, wood, resin, and porcelain are seemingly endless.

The Saddlery has every practical piece of clothing and equipment you would expect to find in a tack store, but the extraordinary range of gifts for
all ages makes shopping there a unique experience.
