Welcome to the Jumper Nation daily gift guide! From now until the final day to ship, we will be selecting some of our favorite curated collections of top notch gifts for you to give your fellow equestrians, or an easy hint for you to drop to your significant other! And of course, a little seasonal self-indulgence never hurt anyone – you’ve got to spend Granny’s gift money SOMEWHERE.
You might think of today’s selection as a legitimately thoughtful gift for your horse. Shouldn’t ponies be able to get in on the action for the holidays, too? This one could be a game changer for your horse’s traveling performance, especially if you’re making long hauls, flights, or your horse is prone to building up a little fluid in the legs.
According to Hidez website:
Hidez are engineered to create graduated compression to the horses via carefully constructed suits and socks for the horses to wear. Graduated compression means the application of greatest pressure is at the furthest point of the garment from the heart and the amount of pressure exerted deceases as it nears the heart.
For horses, the most pressure is the lowest part of the leg and decreases as it moves along the limbs to the body. This type of compression forces vital blood supplies out of the lower limbs (where fluids tend to pool) and back into circulation to the heart and major organs. This process increases blood circulation & oxygen available to the horse’s muscles. This increases the removal of waste products in the blood and generates healthy blood flow to help in the recovery of injuries, prevent injuries by maintaining muscles temperature, & reduces muscle fatigue and soreness.

The special fabric manufactured by Hidez is a breathable moisture management fabric that contains high stretch elastomeric yarn. The products are manufactured using a warp knit construction and are more durable and superior to circular knitted fabrics. This special fabric is cut into panels and strategically constructed to focus on certain muscle groups.
Hidez use a muscle focused strategy when applying pressure to the horse’s body, the way Hidez wraps the horses body control graduated compression & reduces muscle vibration, which is particularly important when hauling. The unique seams also play a role, acting as anchor points, our seams help us with muscle focus creating the right amounts of controlled graduated compression to the animal.
There are two main types of body suits: A post-travel compression suit for standing and some walking after travel, and an active compression suit, which can be worn while riding. In addition to the full body suits, Hidez also offers compression socks and hoods.

If you’re thinking of buying for someone else, you can purchase a gift certificate so that the owner can get the appropriate measurements, etc. (and ensures you won’t be anxiously waiting for something to arrive in time for the holidays.)
It comes in loads of colors and prints to suit whatever you personal compression style might be.
