| At the barn our TB gelding is boarded at, everyone hangs a stocking
on the horses' stall door. Then the day before Christmas people
go around filling the stockings with horse goodies, etc. It really
is fun! There is also a selected night about a week before Christmas
that management cancels lessons and the boarders are allowed to
have a Yule Party in the observation room (because it is heated!).
Everyone brings a favorite dish (lots of carrot cakes!), and some
of us even dress up our horses manes and tails in red and green
ribbons!

| 1131.3 | boring presents | TOOK::SCHLENER | | Wed Nov 29 1989 13:47 | 7 |
| My horse's present was a New Zealand rug and shipping boots. He's
"REALLY" excited about them!
For the first time ever, I'll be able to visit him on Christmas day.
He'll get his favorite treat - a bag of carrots.

| 1131.4 | Bells! | DUGGAN::FAY | GET YOUR FUNK UP | Fri Dec 01 1989 16:45 | 18 |
| This is going way back to something I did before I became
a teenager.
On Christmas Eve I used to deliver our family's gifts
to neighbors on Horseback. I would bells across my horses
chest and go from door to door delivering Cookies, etc.
Then I turned 13 and decided this wasn't coolest thing for
a teenager to do.
But after that my friend and I often rode with bells on
our horses prior to Christmas. NOTHING will put you in
the spirit more!!
Wreaths on the barn are a must - and we always gave them
a special bran mash too!

Original Note by Lil Christmas Cheer! and a few Carols.... No replies
USMFG::NROSTANZO 17 lines 8-DEC-1989 16:41
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just to share a little Christmas Cheer.... We are planning a
Caroling session at the barn I work at... a surprise to the
woman who owns the horses (have to let her husband in on it or
there won't be anyone home to carol for!) The five of us who
work their will each take one of her arabs out for christmas
caroling this year........ I just need to pick up some bells!
Of course we'll have to pick some late afternoon (day) time to
arrange this....... tis a bit nippy at night, not to mention
the crazy winter driving .............
Anyone else have any good christmas ideas?

| 1131.6 | Horse bells scare horses! | PTOMV4::PETH | My kids are horses | Tue Dec 12 1989 13:13 | 7 |
| Just a caution, I introduced my kids to sleigh bells for the first
time a week ago. I walked into the barn with them and everyone
fled outside. It has taken a week for 2 of them to not shy at the
sound, and my old pony (24) still gets terrified. Get your bells
early so the horses can get used to them.

| 1131.7 | Bells on my fingers??? | USMFG::NROSTANZO | | Tue Dec 12 1989 13:34 | 17 |
| Sandy,
Thanks for the word of caution, I do very well believe it..... I
have a small string of bells to jingle, we won't be putting the
string on the horses, but we are going to acquaint them now with
them and decide which horses will be ok, if we don't have enough
horses to do the ride with the bells; well drop them.
I'm working very hard now with a 4 yr old, green gent that has had
some bad experiences and I know all to well how terrified you can
make a horse. He's coming along very well........ lots of hard
work..... and he's just begun riding lessons with me and a trainer.
Have a good Christmas All!

So, I want enough daylight to ride in our new outdoor arena! (Fix that

and provide some utility poles with lights on them...I'd settle for
that until Spring comes

"Northern Dancer" (1964 KY Derby and Preakness winner; premiere sire)
but there was no audio on the tape! But, the elves will exchange it for
one with sound!
I also got a book by Oliveira and the second edition of Herbermann's
"Dressage Formula"

| 1131.21 | What did you GET for Xmas? | BONJVI::PIERCE | Happy New Year | Thu Jan 02 1992 13:05 | 20 |

note 1561 asked "What do you WANT for xmas" well I want to know, "What did
you GET for xmass" (Horse Items only)
I collect carousel horse's and my Dad got me a 2 foot tall hand made
Carousel horse, it is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
He also got me a hand painted shirt w/ the a Carousel horse on it.
My sister got me a antique Carousel candy dish
and Hubby got me another Carousel music box to add to my growing collection.
and my Xmass/B-day gift from Dad and Hubby is custom made boots from Dover
Saddlery! I cant wait, it will take 3 months, but it will be worth it.
(Terri Rock, I here Santa was extra special to you, lets here it)

| 1131.22 | Yes, Santa was kind to me | LUDWIG::ROCK | | Fri Jan 03 1992 12:04 | 14 |
| yes he was....I finally had some nice folding saddle racks installed
in my dressing room, water bucket hooks installed in the stalls in the
trailer for when parked, door hooks outside. Lots of nice personal
things this year. I did not ask for anything really horsey this year.
Although, my Gramps gave us each a great check and with some of that
money I thought I would take a few riding lessons in dressage. I ride
balance seat (stock seat )now and the two styles of riding are very
close. It would be fun I think and good for me to do at least in
january and febuary then I will get back into riding my horses in
March.
thanks Santa.....
