Let's Talk Horsey Holiday Gifts!
Anyone want to share items from their horsey holiday gift lists? With just over a week left to go until Christmas, I'm guessing some of us can use a little inspiration in the "what to shop for?" department. Here are a few prompts from me, to help you get started.
GIFTS I'M GIVING:
* Set of engraved bridle conchos, cross motif.
* Set of retro-style bridle conchos, clear half-globes with cowgirl motif underneath.
* Swarovski crystal earrings, in color to match a show outfit.
* Belt with nail heads and retro-style floral embroidery.
* Cowboy boot Christmas stocking, filled with plush-toy horses.
* Reversible saddle blanket with separate felt underliner.
GIFTS ON MY OWN "DEAR SANTA" LIST:
* English bridle and reins.
* New clipper blades (perfect stocking stuffers, right?)
* Oster Mini-Max clippers.
* Full-body blanket liner, extra-large.
* Bailey Premier show hat, maple color, cream bound brim.
* Bottle of Rose Oil coat conditioner.
FAVORITE GIFTS I'VE RECEIVED IN PAST YEARS:
* Yearling-size show halter (too extravagant to buy for self).
* Stall sign with my horse's name and picture on it.
* Waterproof turnout blanket.
* Bottle of horse shampoo--with engagement ring inside the cap!

Juli I won't be giving or getting any horse related gifts as I buy them year around (unless Daughter 1 wants to buy Daughter 2 some reins). However, I did get Daughter 2 a digital camera and I hope she uses it at least for some pictures of our horses and the things we do with them. She and I spend a lot of time together at the barn and since this is such a big part of our lives, I hope she records some of it for looking at when she gets older and is remembering those times we shared.
I want a working Western bridle and reins for my young gelding, JR. I want a new halter and lead rope as well.
As for giving I am thinking of getting my best friend a halter with her boy's name on it.
My special mare got a new halter with her name sewn onto it ( no more hand me down with anothers name enblazend across the nose-band ) and a pair of PC SMB II boots. They are still on sale and you get the bell boots for free.
For Hanukkah & Xmas my family & I purchased a truck load of horsey items for my soon-to-be step-daughter Paige in hopes she would ride under my ranch name, Monte Cielo for the 2007 season. We expanded her Hot Pink tack collection with cinch, reins & saddle bag. And to fuel her interest in trying English style riding purchased exercise tights, peacock safety stirrups and a new saddle pad in my ranch color of purple. We will see if a 10 yr old ranch raised barrel racer can hunt for ribbons in an entirely new way. It is my goal to encourage all equestrian interests for as it is true: The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a child. Happy Holidays Sincerely, Buckarette Annette Kolkey-Porterfield, Monte Cielo Ranch, Macdoel, CA
