Who decorates their horse for Boxing Day??

[JanetGeorge]

A bit of tinsel in the mane is rather 'traditional' at our hunt - but I let one of the girls loose on husband's horse today and he looks rather like a Christmas Tree! :grin: I MAY be divorced when OH sees him (which will be JUST before we load him and no time to remove it!!)

So if anyone is out tomorrow on the Shropshire/Welsh borders and sees a Master whose face matches his coat, on a big bay horse who looks like he IS a Christmas Tree - say Hi to my OH! :grin:

Can you get a pic??

 

[Irishcobs]

Nope. We have two going out. One would be terrified of it and the other would kill us if we tried!
I suspect the kids will have enough tinsel on for all of us.

I always keep my tinsel for meet before crimbo and boxing day i try and be v smart!!

i've tinselled up my breastplate and have a bit for his tail. he's a bit scared of it though as i tried it out today so cant go too mad!

 

[CrazyMare]

I usually do a Christmas hack all tinselled up, then go to the Boxing Day meet absolutly immaculate. Having a grey makes that interesting

This was Bruno just before he got on the lorry.

You can't really see the tail - which was quite modest - just some silver strands fixed into the top and going nearly full length.

Oops - forgot you can't put pics in here so you'll need to copy & paste.

Wow she's done a fab job!! What a lovely horse too. How did hubby react?!

We keep the tinsel for Christmas Eve - even the footies get into the spirit of things - I tinsel up my cross bar, the falconer decorates the eagle box and the neds get antlers, tinsel, bells and santa hats! Some don't like to see it done, but I like it, shows we have a sense of humour.

Badger had some on his browband.

in my country we despise such things
we hunt to kill and eat not for celebrations
tinsel is fo the poof and soft english

 

[Vicki1986]

just a bit of tinsel round the neck for the meet - took it off before we set off as it was about to break anyway!

 

[combat_claire]

You need to invest in some better quality tinsel!!
