A Horses Guide for Christmas ...


1. Be good and put up with silly decorations / antlers / silly hat being added to your normal tack. Humans seem to get some special kind of pleasure out of seeing you with decorations / fake antlers /silly hats at this time of year


2. Pretend to look at least amused when they take your photograph wearing decorations / antlers / silly hat


3. If you see a large man with a white beard and a very loud laugh DONT PANIC - This a quite a normal occurrence at this time of year - he does not eat horses

4. Remember be especially patient / calm with your human during this time. They may appear to be more stressed-out than usual and they probably will appreciate a big slobber.

5. Be aware that you may have to listen of cacophony of hideous sounds repeated ad nauseum in the stable yard - these are called Carrols and are sounds humans use to remember what time of year it is, be patient the noise will stop -in January

5. Take note of December 25 - this is Christmas day - this is the one day of the year that your human will come bearing large amounts of treats but if you are lucky wont expect you to perform / exercise / compete. Lie back and enjoy the peace and quite - heck have an extra carrot!

6. Be wary of moving to a new owner for Christmas - especially if you are a pony! This could result in being made to wear a big red ribbon and stand quietly under a Christmas tree in the human’s living room. Expect onset of screaming once new human arrives...

7. Look interested when human arrives with large Jolly Ball/ Lick / stable toy - then kick it into the corner...

8. Boxing Day is an excellent day repay your human for the Christmas holiday. They will be properly suffering from the human form of colic and will really appreciate if you are being exceptionally fresh and lively!

Ha, My lot never read this, tried taking a photo of four all wearing daft hats and tinsel garlands many years ago. Despite having two helpers to crinkle sweet bags and squeek toys no one wanted to play.

One would shake their hat off. the alpha mare was pulling 'snake faces' at anything that got a treat whilst her mouth was anything less than fulll. The welsh B tried eating his neighbours tinsel. Then the dogs, that had sat in front behaving perfectly, got bored and tanked off for a game of chase.

I had done this before with two thouroghbred yearlings for their owners Christmas cards, ALONE easy as pie. They were perfect.

I will NEVER attempt this again. :D
