The holiday countdown is on, and so it befits the season for us to take a look at some current and future shopping opportunities pertaining to the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games.

First, and perhaps the most obvious: For the equestrian enthusiast in your life, tickets to the WEG could be a once-in-a-lifetime holiday gift. If he or she enjoys the sports of jumping, eventing, dressage, reining, endurance, combined driving, vaulting, or para-equestrian dressage, then watching WEG competition is sure to be a memorable experience. The tickets aren’t inexpensive — but from what I hear, they’re a heckuva lot more reasonable than a Super Bowl excursion.

Find and purchase WEG tix through Ticketmaster.

OK, now that you have secured tickets to slip into your friend’s or loved one’s stocking, we’re off to shop for that always-popular commodity, official merchandise. Everyone loves a great souvenir (that’s why I cherish my concert T-shirts), especially if it comes with bragging rights. At the WEG 2010 Store, you’ll find official branded and logo-ed T-shirts, polo shirts, outerwear, kids’ clothing, glassware, artwork, baseball caps, Christmas ornaments, luggage, saddle pads, and much more. The popular riding-attire manufacturer Ariat also offers a line of WEG-logo items on the WEG 2010 Store site
