All wrapped up:

 

Everything you order from Gallop Guru comes beautifully packaged, but for the fumble-fingered there’s a gift wrapping choice, or you can create your own horsey ‘hamper’ by selecting the handy ‘add to gift box’ option. Alternatively take the DIY route and order your own wrapping paper and Christmas cards from the site.

 

Flat work:

 

Gallop Guru is brilliantly easy to negotiate. It can be searched according to gift category, e.g. homeware, jewellery, vintage or kids; or by special interest, e.g. polo, dressage or racing; while drop down menus allow you to list by price or popularity. Every product is clearly pictured with plenty of information, and there’s a simple purchasing system.

 

So, gallop into the sunset of Christmas Eve and delight the horse lover in your life by cosying up by the fire for a spot of shopping on www.gallopguru.co.uk.
