Merry Christmas From The Equine Chronicle! Check out the “12 Days of Christmas,” Equestrian Style
By: Brittany Bevis
The big day has finally arrived, and everyone here at The Equine Chronicle would like to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Have a safe and blessed holiday and pause to remember the real reason for the season.
To help everyone get in the Christmas spirit, we’ve created a new spin on the old classic, The 12 Days of Christmas. Sing this tune at your holiday barn party or even while mucking out stalls on Christmas morning! Although 55 horses as Christmas presents doesn’t necessarily signify true love, it’s certainly a good start!
