Grotto Stables!!!!

[_OC_]

Now have you been on yards where owners feel this compulsion to attach bits of tinsel to the outside of their box's and various Christmas decorations.....one at the moment has advent calander at the mo.....well out of the way of her equines mouth........if my cob had anything outside his box it would soon disappear into back of box and beyond(most likely with a vet visit for colic as the follow up), a few years ago when I had my mare we did the box's up ........with care and looked like a bl*#dy Grotto...YO loved it!!!? I thought it naff does anyone else love doing this(taking care it does not freak or get eaten!).....or am I BAH HUM BUG!!!!

Have just sent you a PM ....I thought OMG not been in touch untill you saw OH in Tesco's

 

[Murphs_Mum]

We used to always put tinsel on the martingales as kids but think Murph would be a bit insulted if I made him all sparkly! I do confess however I did buy the yard cat an advent calendar!!!!! He is lovely and only has half a tail but I'm sure everyone thinks I mad!!!

 

[Bri]

I fully intend to put tinsel up outside my stable

Although only to irritate my YO!! It drives him mad that I'm so 'pink' and girly and it's like a running joke now that I go out of my way to be as girly as possible!

 

[_OC_]

I can't leave a thing outside his box......as it would just go.....!!

I used to as a kid but i cant be ar*ed now i am older (i know what a scrouge) BUT i did tinsel up my horses tack last Christmas for a show (which actually stayed on for about 3 weeks LOL) so thats gotta count.

 

[amandawordingham]

Can't do it at ours as a couple of the horses would completely freak!

 

[S_N]

LMAO! Yes I did last year - just to make other liveries groan

Then ended up SO ill with D&V over xmas, that I didn't even see my neddies on xmas day or for 3 days afterwards!!!

Used to decorate my old cob at xmas time too!

Won't do the tinsel thing until Christmas day when I will ride Donkey out decked head to toe in the stuff - just to humilate her and maybe get some energy out of her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Vicki1986]

im not very full of christmas cheer and never really am, so i might put a bit of tinsel up here and there to try and cheer myself up. i dont 'do' advent calendars for myself and never really have, but i have got a codlivine one for my ned which i keep safely out of harms way i nthe feed room!

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

Mainly to humilate too

... Always goes down with the public

...my pony got a few stockings and xmas cards hung up but i think i've moved on from that with my horse!

 

[Enfys]

So.........I feel a photo "comp" coming on, Let's see your Decorated Stables!

 

[Mid]

Our horse will be out 24/7, otherwise it would definately be TINSEL TIME!!!!!!!!!

 

[Horseymum]

My mare has a Codlivine Advent Calendar which she shares with her neighbour as there are two "sweeties" in each window - I know we are cheapskates! We then usually have some tinsel on the top doors but out of reach of neddies and decorate our bit of the tack room. We are the only people who make any effort at all, the rest of them don't even wish you a Merry Christmas on Christmas morning unless you force them into it!

No I do not myself my horses are always to scatty to. But we had 2 kids on a yd I worked at and there ponies had all sorts of decs outside and inside the stables they even got the horses hats and red rugs and tinsled them and rode the ponys every day like it for 4 weeks bless there ponies they were as good as gold even wen wind was blowing and tinsel blowing round there faces.
