Horses in the Kitchen

Gift IdeasFor those of us who love horses, it is important to surround ourselves with their likeness no matter where we are. This simple fact makes it easy to find gifts for horse lovers.

Horse theme gifts can be a tad over-the-top, so I’ve taken care to choose those things I think are timeless and cool, (with a little whimsical thrown in for good measure).

Today it’s all about horses in the kitchen, here are a number of horsey items in a variety of styles. For each I’ve provided a link to their Amazon page and a closer view where available.

The Horses of Rudolf Koller

Rudolf Koller was born late in the 19th century in Zurich, Switzerland and his passion for painting & horses manifested itself at a young age. He loved to paint animals and dedicated much of his education to the study of animals.

His admiration of the animal world is clear in his eye for detail and rendering of their personality.

Rudolf was an equal opportunity animal lover and known to paint the rest of the barnyard too. I threw in a cow or two because they are simply too lovely not to share.
