SaddleBox

What's in the box: Each box contains SaddleBox's own horse cookies plus a mix of other treats, grooming brushes, tack or gear, and small gifts for the owner.

SaddleBox is a US subscription box made mostly for your horse, with a few items for the rider too. Every box includes the company's own gourmet horse cookies, which it says you can only get through SaddleBox. These come with a changing mix of treats, brushes, gear and other surprises from outside brands. Your first box ships right away, and after that new boxes go out on the 15th of each month. Shipping within the US is free. The site also promises a no-risk guarantee but doesn't explain the terms on its main page, so read them before you subscribe. Two extras make it stand out. SaddleBox says each box helps a rescue horse that you can see, and every month it puts a golden ticket in one random box that wins a free custom saddle. The company also says it has sent more than 500,000 boxes. On the downside, the homepage doesn't show prices or say what a typical box is worth. Contents are a surprise, so you can't pick items for a horse with a special diet or for a certain riding style. If your horse is on a strict feeding plan, check the treat ingredients. If you like spoiling a horse with fun treats and small grooming items, it's a cheerful and easy monthly gift that also suits young riders.
