Merry Christmas

Has he been?

So last night there may have been a little confusion over the reindeer's carrots, not Santa's mince pie and glass of sherry. I'm sure you understand that a certain young gentleman, who will of course remain nameless so as not be embarrassed, wasn't really interested in mince pies and sherry but was quite convinced that the carrots were for him!

So this is Christmas

And what have you done

Another year over

And a new one just begun

And so this is Christmas

I hope you have fun

The near and the dear ones

The old and the young

A very merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

Merry Christmas

Eggsy Advent Calendar Day 24 Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve and Eggsy is getting ready to hang his Christmas stocking. There's talk of train sets and xboxes even though he has no idea what they might be. We suspect he might have overheard someone's conversation! 

Eggsy's BFF has told him to calm down, be sensible and ask for what is dearest to a horses heart

Good Food

Good Company

and

Freedom to Move

Time to settle down and go to sleep Eggsy pony for tomorrow is Christmas Day !

Eggsy Advent Calendar Day 23

Not long now ~ only 2 sleeps to go!

The Christmas forage has been delivered & Eggsy is getting all excited wondering if he'll catch sight of Santa's sleigh and REINDEER! There was a little confusion the other day when a small herd of roe deer galloped across the field behind us ~ Eggsy thought they were Santa's reindeer. Bless him!

Eggsy Advent Calendar Day 20

And peace is restored!

Eggsy is naughty no more thanks to an early Christmas Present

It would seem that Eggsy's thick winter coat was enough to protect him from our old electric fence energizer hence he kept walking through the fence and causing mayhem! But this new one  has done the trick and he is now respecting the fence again. Phew what a relief!

Eggsy Advent Calendar day 17

When Eggsy's Advent Calendar started on 1st December we were enjoying cold, crisp days and there was much talk of the possibility of a white Christmas. How things change in just a few days. The weather has turned mild, we've had lots of rain and even the dry days have remained damp. So dreams of a white Christmas have turned to :

MUD

which in turn results in

an awfully muddy pony :(

Eggsy Advent Calendar Day 15

It's all very well Eggsy standing there with your Christmas stocking waiting for Santa to fill it full of pressies but Santa only visits good boys and girls, colts and fillies! And you my little man have started being a bit of a naughty boy lately haven't you?

We'll disregard the coltish nipping because you've been very good about stopping when we give you a scratch but breaking fences, now that was unacceptable.

And these Houdini impersonations, climbing through the paddock fence, not good Eggsy. No not good at all, you're going to get yourself in a great deal of trouble if you continue along this course.
For a start Santa might not visit!

Eggsy Advent Calendar Day 14

Dashing through the snow

In a one horse open sleigh

O'er the field we go

Laughing all the way

No snow here today, the weather has turned mild again and after last night's rain we're back to mud bringing it's own horse care challenges. Eggsy succeeded in splattering me with mud today as he pawed the ground showing his impatience whilst I delivered his hard feed! All I have to say is thank goodness for wet wipes.....

Eggsy Advent Calendar Day 13

Today's Advent Calendar window is for Charity Tuesday a special day of the week for charitable works. Also called Giving Tuseday, whether it's money, time or your cast off clothes and unwanted items we can all give something to a charitable cause.

So if you're tidying up for Christmas guests instead of throwing stuff in the bin pop it in a box and drop it off at a charity shop.

Bored with nothing to do, phone a favourite cause and see if you can be a volunteer for a few hours a week.

Getting a new phone for Christmas, consider donating your old one to charity.

Haven't written Christmas cards yet? Spend the money on a charitable donation instead but remember to tell your friends and family that's what you've done. 

Still need to send cards? Buy cards from your favourite charity.

Last minute Christmas presents? Adopt a pony from one of the equine charities.

Buy a cup of coffee every day on your way to work? Don't! Think about it, you probably spend around £10 a week on that take out coffee. £10 would eg. buy a bag of horse feed. Give it up for just one week and give the money to a charitable cause instead.
