About Us

The idea for GIFT HORSE BASKETS was born of a couple of loves…that of caring for our horses and of a desire to create a family-centered lifestyle here in the heart of Virginia’s hunt country.

Our goal is to produce a selection of unique specialty gift collections tailored to the equestrian enthusiast, containing the best products available in the marketplace, handsomely packaged and shipped for our customers’ pleasure and delight. We are continually researching, testing and refining our offerings, using our combined years of horse-owning, riding and showing experience to aid in selection of the products that horse people truly need and which really work the best, or are simply too wonderful to resist!

We take pleasure in including surprise promotional items in our Gift Horse Baskets. These are not listed in the content lists of the collection and if shown in the photo may change subject to availability.

Ordering

How can I place an order?

You can place an order online at www.horsebaskets.com or by calling (866) 843-0510. If you don’t reach us please leave a voice mail and we will return your call as soon as we are able.

How far in advance do I need to order?

Orders received online are shipped within 2 to 3 business days. On occasion, such as holiday rush times, additional time may be required. You can order as far in advance of a desired delivery date as you want, the sooner the better. Call us at (866) 843-0510 to place advance orders. If you don’t reach us please leave a voice mail and we will return your call as soon as we are able. We sometimes offer discounts on large quantity advance orders. Be sure to ask when you call.

How do I request a catalog?

Sorry, we don’t have a catalog; we do have a PDF basket item menu online. By not printing a catalog, using recycled packing materials, and using gift containers that can be repurposed when empty, we hope to do our small part to minimize our ecological footprint.

I’m really, really busy. Can I just call and tell you how much I want to spend and let you take it from there?

Absolutely! Much like you would with a florist, just call and give us a budget and color request, and we will put together the most appropriate and most beautiful basket possible within that budget.

Color choices?

Many of our baskets offer you a choice of colors. If no color is chosen, we reserve the right to coordinate the colors in your basket. Please see our order form for color choices, or call toll free at (866) 843-0510. If you don’t reach us please leave a voice mail and we will return your call as soon as we are able.

I don’t want to order online. When can I call you?

What is your return policy?
