Forget the Shelf, Equine Chronicle Elf is Going to the Barn!

By: Brittany Bevis

We’re all familiar with the mischievous antics of the Elf on the Shelf! As the story goes, elves serve as a scouts, who make sure kids are behaving around Christmastime. They report back to Santa Claus each night to help him update his naughty and nice lists.

Children and big kids alike are entertained by the surprising places where the elves turn up and the mischievous antics they’ve been up to while everyone’s asleep. Elves have been known to make snow angels in piles of flour, get into stashes of Christmas candy, or even hijack Barbie’s dream car for a drive down the sidewalk.

If you need a few ideas to entertain the little equestrians in your household during Christmas break, scroll below to see what our Equine Chronicle elf has been up to…

We want to see your pictures too! Send us photos of the equine-related antics your elves have been getting into lately, and you might see them featured on our website or Facebook page. Photos can be sent to b.bevis@equinechronicle.com or shared on our Equine Chronicle Facebook page.
