YAY!! Crimmus!!!

I think I would like some books... I dont even mind if they are "gently used". Books like:

101 Schooling Exercises by jaki Bell and Andrew Day

101 Jumping Exercises by Linda Allen

Cavaletti by Klimke

or the Building Confidence over Fences book.


I ride English, and aspire to do combined training... and will possibly leasing a horse soon (fingers crossed... having a lesson with the trainer next week) so some books that I could use to "self school" would be great!

I live in Georgia, so while it doesnt get horribly cold, we do get pretty cold winters... so maybe a snuggly fleece or a warm long sleeved shirt to ride in? Any color is fine, but I favor lilac and purple. Size medium.

Thanks!!!
Amanda

This is soooo fun!!!
Let's see...
Solana's color is sage or purple, she's my chesnut appendix quarter mare.
Jericho' color is black, she's a BIG draft x.
Ruby, (my new baby t-bred, actually yearling!) doesn't really have a color, she's bay with black points. I guess she can be red. I need to post pics of her yet.
Anything horsey is good, my house is somewhat confused in it's decor... Western decor or cabinish, (is that a word?) is ok! I ride English, hunters, so that may help someone to decide what to get me, I CAN'T wait to find out who I'm going to get, it's my most fun gift to buy for Christmas!
Merry Early Christmas!! I also like horsey tshirts, XL sized (wish I could type small here!) Linda O

This is my first time doing this exchange, so I'm looking forward to it!

I don't have a horse, so no barn colors, horse needs, etc. I'd actually love something dog- or other-related! Like a Petsmart gift card (I have a greyhound), AMC Theatres movie gift card (I LOVE movies!!), etc.

I like those riding clothes that are kind of "street wear" too... tops/vests with the pleats that are more fitted, etc. (I'm usually a M, sometimes a L). I have to admit that I don't really like shirts with big horse prints on them (I got too many of those from relatives growing up!).

I also *love* anything consumable, like food mixes!

But whatever I receive will be appreciated!!

I only own miniature horses now,so anything for miniature horses,horse t shirt sz med,horsey socks(or any socks that look warm and fuzzy,I like socks)size 7,horsey tree ornaments,book on mini horses,anything really. I am in this for the fun of putting a gift together for someone else so anything I get will just be icing on the cake.

Helpful Hints:
Age: 12
I own an QH mare-Breanna, Brie or Majors El
I ride western..and show Halter and Showmanship
Ranch name: Hidden Valley Equestrian Center
Barn colors: Navy Blue and Gold
I have a female Scottty/Jack Russel Terrier cross-named Pez.

Wish List:

i was just thinking the other day that it was about time to start thinking about secret santa's.

so im glad that i finally noticed this (yes i know its at the top of the page )

um. i dont really have a list this year.
but if i manage to get someone that knows wher to find wooden grooming tote i have been looking for one forever. but it might be a bit to big to send.
um, ill think of something.
a good book is always a nice suprise. last year my ss found green grass of wyoming for me.... (another thing i had been looking for since i was a little kid)
-thanks kathy!
oh. and i love smartwool sox. (but they might be more than $25 size 8.5-9

Hi This is the 1st time that I'm doing this. It really does sound like fun though!

Ok my hints...
I have a 3 yr old bay gelding appy named Sahdow. His barn colors are lime green and black. I love really baggy t-shirts and sweatshirts so I always get XLs. What else... I ride western, but I am planning on trying english this spring. I love lotions, but I can't use raspberry lotions, I'm allergic. I love candles and basically anything horsey or things that has a western feel. This is going to be so much fun!

This is my first year to participate in this. "Hints" for my Secret Santa: anything horse related , books are always nice, notepads, rustic picture frames, photo albums, stationery - just your average stuff. This will be neat - I can't wait to get started with my own shopping DND

Thought of other things!

Forgot to add that I'm 27 so would not like a T-shirt/sweater with a big horse print on it.

I love riding jackets/vests! I'm always having to wear layers to stay warm.
Winter riding gloves and/or mittens would be good. I'd probably take a small (I take small in the Mountain Horse crocheted gloves)
A nice show sheet for Bennett for next year's show season (size 76") either black or burgundy.
A slinky would be good. Either burgundy or black. Bennett's 15.1HH. She has burgundy shipping boots so would like to keep her somewhat color coordinated!
A fitted cooler would also be nice to keep her warm during winter after a ride (any color).
Grooming brushes,
grooming supplies (especially detanglers for her thick-dragging-on-the-ground tail!)
horse-y treats.

Oh this is fun! I can't wait to start shopping!

Here goes,
One horse 17 year old Breeding Stock she's black, her color is purple.
Im 23, she's my first horse.
I ride western.
Would love to have the Oster finishing bruch, (softest one with the black bristles)
any horsy decor items especially the Painted Ponies, I only have the one with snowflakes on her.
Trail Riding first aid kit
Horse shirts or Sweat Shirts, XXL or XXXL, I like them big, and I'm big enough too
horse themed tall socks should fit a womans size 10 shoe, (tall enough for lacers or cowboy boots)
Any thing horse related is fine, but I do have enough Halters.
Dislikes:
Scented hand lotions, and really super smelly candles.

Can't wait to get started!

I like Green Blue and Brown not bright colors, navy blue hunter green or similiar shades. My initials that I use on everything are MJ with the J attached to the end of the M, like a brand. I have a bay running QH named Cowboy, and a red/white paint mare named Shyanne. Its cold here in Wyo so riding gloves or a warm hat would be nice and I LOVE sox!!! I really want Centered Riding if you had an old copy laying around. But I dont really care I just want to know who I have so I can start SHOPPING!

Well, I love recieving horse treats and horse brushes/grooming products for xmas! They are so fun! My horse's colors are hunter green/tan(gold).He wears a large halter. My horse's favorite treats are peppermint Red Barn Horse treats, or Mrs. Pastures. What I would love to get for xmas is a bucket with grooming products/treats in it. I just got my horse last week and he really needs his own grooming kit! His name is Bronzed Hobby, I call him Bronzy. He is a 16.2hh buckskin appendix quarter horse. I am taking lessons right now and I plan on showing him in the hunt seat equitation class and maybe hunter under saddle. I love him to death!

i love this....
its so true...and i happen to work in a tack shop. so i might bable to get things that are normally more than $25 for that much. (so if ur in canada let it be known what you are looking for )

anyways, i just thought i would add that most of my stuff is black and red. sometimes with white trim or sometimes i substitute navy for black bc its really hard to find black and red together i find.
um, i dont really need or want anything so as long as i dont get pack(s) of gum or rocks then ill be happy. mostly its just knowing that i can make someone else smile with at suprise.
cheers,
mak

Here's mine.

I'm pretty easy to please. My interests are English riding/dressage and draft horses. So I would welcome anything with that sort of decoration -- t-shirt (small), or sweatshirt (small).

Or Christmas decorations/pierced earrings with a horsey theme.

Favorite colors are misty blues and greens but pink is good too.

Happy to get whatever I receive
