'Young Rider' Limited Edition 2026 Advent Calendar
Bought together
Limited-Edition Young Rider Equestrian Advent Calendar
Ages 12 & Under • Only 25 Available • $500+ Guaranteed Retail Value
A holiday collaboration from Life Equestrian, The Plaid Horse & The Tried Equestrian
For the young rider who only wants horse things.
The Plaid Horse and Life Equestrian have teamed up with some of our favorite equestrian brands to create 12 days of surprises made especially for horse-obsessed young riders.
Inside are 12 individually packaged equestrian surprises, each with a retail value of at least $40, with many worth significantly more. Expect a mix of rider favorites, horse and barn essentials, accessories, treats, and special pieces created just for the calendar. With a guaranteed retail value of $500+, each drawer is designed to feel like a real gift, not a sample or filler item.
And because no two young riders are exactly alike, we’ll use the information provided at checkout, including rider sizing, riding discipline, and horse or pony size, to help customize the contents. Exact products and values will vary, which is part of the surprise.
The calendar itself is a keepsake. This year’s box features exclusive artwork by equestrian artist Bettina Norton, created especially for the collaboration and designed to be kept and reused long after the final drawer is opened.
Only 25 Young Rider calendars will be made. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
What to expect: 12 equestrian surprises • $40+ retail value every day • $480+ guaranteed total retail value • A mix of rider + horse finds • Multiple equestrian brands • Special products created for the calendar • Customized using the information provided at checkout
Shipping: Calendars begin shipping in mid-November so they arrive in plenty of time for 12 days of surprises in December.
Please note: Due to the customized and limited-edition nature of this product, calendars are non-refundable once shipped and are not eligible for traditional Tried Equestrian discounts or free-shipping promotions.
Free shipping on orders over $249. Return items within 14 days for a refund or store credit
