Wow! Some "unexpected" present! Definitely beats me, LOL, I ordered a saddle pole just before Christmas and didn't expect it for several days but it arrived Christmas Eve. I needed it to stop baby neighbour nibbling my saddle when it's on the stable door!

Lovely!
We had him on loan for 3 months and then I was given his passport and told he was my Christmas present courtesy of a very good friend. I've been very lucky!
 
My best and most unexpected present was a small step ladder to keep in the trailer so I never have to worry about how I am going to get on my boy when we are at shows 😆
 
I got this from some completely non horsey friends - I love it

In all my many years of horseyness I have NEVER had a horsey pressie off anyone at all! My family aren't horsey in the least so I was over the moon and amazed to get loads of Aldi riding gear off my Big Bro and his wife.... I mean I don't think they even know what a horse is??!
 
I got some new Roeckl Chesters from my mom and a lovely print of a painting of King William signed by Mary King. How my OH found that I have no idea.

Also got a ton of wooly hats, ear warmers and general stuff to keep toasty at the yard - but I had asked for those!

My family try and specifically not buy horsey things for my christmas and birthday because they say that its meant for me and not the horses... but given that everything I want is usually in some way shape or form related to horses, riding, being outside etc it doesn't often give them much options.

For my birthday in the summer my mom bought me a series of DVD's with Stephen Clarke through the eyes of the judge, I love them!
 
I got a early present a 7.5 horsebox bit of a surprise as my dad said not to bother with one till next year we picked it up Monday so slightly early also ordered some ariat volants such a fab xmas
 
Does winning the Westage EFI Facebook Christmas prize draw count? Certainly unexpected, although not quite letting myself believe it until it arrives on my door step! ��

Snap! I got trailer training and test too. Test is already booked for the 7th of Jan!
Bit different though as I already drive and reverse tractors and trailers, just not allowed to tow with a car :/
