Ok DGers, time to 'fess up.....has anyone else bought their horse a Christmas present? I always get Chym some fruit and veg, and even freeze blackberries earlier in the year for her to have on Christmas Day  so this year Tulie will be sharing those with her. I've also bought some soft rope reins to use in my riding sessions with Chym, and a new padded headcollar for Tulie ( will have to wrap both up of course...) So is anyone else just as daft as me?!? ;D |

Not yet... But I am off to Olympia on Saturday and I am sure I will find them something nice there.. I want a red saddle cloth for Amigo and a purple one for Ailsa.. Not sure what else they pretty much have everything they need (and lot's of stuff they don't)...  I normal bring them up some carrots and a swede on Christmas day... They never seem that amused though ;D |

My yo does stockings on their doors!!! I've got some treats and polos and will take up veg. I also buy for my good friends but if she keeps collecting horses I'll need to cut down Sent from my GT-I9100 using proboards |

Well, my Christmas presents tend to consist mainly of stuff for Rosie anyway! But she will get special treats and thing on Christmas day! And I will need to make up to her the embarassment of being dressed up for our PC Christmas rally on Sunday! |

I've got mine some felt antlers, but I've taken the bells off cos they look silly!
(The dog's keeping the bells on hers, but will also be getting a chinstrap to stop her shaking them off in the MUD.)
I have had to stop wearing mine as it frightened other people's ponies.
Boyo is not bothered, but is hoping Santa brings FOOD.

Wow blackberries and figs, for ponies, never thought about that........ But am definitely going to offer them some for their Christmas treat. Like the sound of a tin of Guinness too........... Mine live out 24/7 but thought I would bring them in for a nice feed and a haynet, if its mild though it will be my treat not theirs as they would rather (I'm sure) be out. When they were on a livery yard the yo would leave likit bars out for each horse, there was no livery on Christmas Day & Boxing Day so it was lovely to see Santa had been to your horse too  |

Hahaha just thought though last year I wanted one of those furry ear warmers, the headband style one but it was too near Christmas and everyone had bought their presents. Lo and behold on Christmas morning there was one under the tree for me, wrapped and everything the label read: To a Wonderful Mum, Merry Christmas, lots of love............ Molly & Baileigh! I wonder how they knew?? |

I follow the old tradition and give a little more of their usual rations (grass nuts, speedi beet but they love them) on Christmas eve - that is the day for the animals feast. because that was the day they gave their manger ....

That's lovely rosemaryhannah, might do something similar for my guys this year |

so this year Tulie will be sharing those with her. I've also bought some soft rope reins to use in my riding sessions with Chym, and a new padded headcollar for Tulie ( will have to wrap both up of course...)
