The Horse Lover's Perfect Countdown To Christmas

Now that the advertising schedule on TV has started to fill up with seasonal snippets from the Argos Christmas Fool to Aldi’s Kevin the Carrot (obviously the horse community’s favourite Yuletide character!) the countdown to Christmas has officially started. Even the biggest Scrooges who once muttered ‘Christmas seems to start earlier every year’ are beginning to soften as we head closer to December. There are now many traditions which help us humans get into a festive mood, but why should your trusty steed miss out on this month of excitement? Here are just a few suggestions to help you and your gee-gee go ‘Hee, hee’ leading up to the big day!

The Final Countdown

Advent calendars seem to get more and more elaborate every year. It is now possible to buy them with everything from jewellery to bottles of craft beer being hidden behind every door. If you have treated yourself and feel guilty that you’ll be the only one getting a little indulgence on a daily basis, there is a wide range of horse related calendars available from Equine Essentials Direct. These vary from the Crunchits Christmas Advent Calendar which supports the Redwings Horse Sanctuary Scheme to the Stuffed Muffin Advent Calendar which includes Christmas pudding flavoured

Festive Fillies

Over the last few years, Christmas jumpers have become a major part of the run down to the 25th December. Increasing number of themes are being incorporated into these garish garments from the traditional to movies & music icons such as Star Wars (‘The Season to Be Jolly It Is’) and Snoop Doggy Dog (‘Twas the nizzle before christmizzle and all through the hizzle’). However, there is no need for your horse to miss out on this new tradition as we have the Hy Christmas Santa Exercise Sheet available.

Also, why end it there when there is a whole range of accessories available to get you, and any passers-by, in the Christmas mood whilst you are out riding? These include leg wraps, reindeer antlers and brow bands as well as an Elico ‘Santa Hats’ skill cover for your good self just to top the whole thing off.

Horsey Indoor Décor

During a cold winters’ evening it would be most calming to have your beloved horse snuggled up beside you indoors. If only it was practical! However, a close second to this is our Hot Chocolate Carousel Gift Set.. The festive equine themed bauble is filled with hot chocolate and mallows and makes a fabulous gift to yourself or a loved one, especially as it is paired with our quirky carousel mug to cosy up to the fire with. It is a gift and a decoration all in one!

That’s a Wrap!

If you are organised and have started buying your Christmas present already, then you may be ‘chomping at the bit’ to start the gift-wrapping process. Our ‘‘Silly Filly’ wrapping paper is the perfect packaging for any horse lover whether it is for a smaller gift or for their ‘mane’ present! Each pack contains 6 tags and 6 70cm X 50cm sheets.
