Location: Texas | Yay!!! I'm so excited.
I wear a Large or XL t-shirt. I have many pets, but mine (not my kids :) ) are my two dogs Stella (medium sized black and tan mixed breed) and Hannah, small black Shih Tzu, my freshwater aquarium, chickens, orange tabby cat named Suma, and of course my horses...Phoenix, bay QH mare (my barrel horse) and Bonnie, Shire/TB cross, retired dressage and fox hunter.
I have children, 3 girls. Hubby and I live on the ranch and take care of his mom.
Favorite colors, dark blue, dark green, and all fall colors. I am a Nebraska Cornhusker football fan. I like outdoors stuff, would love to visit places like Alaska, love big forested areas. Hobbies are pretty much horses, my chickens, and my aquarium.
I love peppermint, vanilla, and fall scents. I am allergic to really floral, perfumy smelling stuff. I love chocolate, red wine, beef jerky.
I can never have too many halters, lead ropes, brushes, etc. I love horse stuff, doesn't really matter what.
I can't wait to start shopping for my person!!!! |

Location: Down South | A little about me . . . I love the outdoors, music, singing and horses. I'm not hard to please, like just about anything. I really like t-shirts and enjoy wearing long sleeve ones in the winter months. I wear a medium. Chocolate is also a favorite of mine; anything sweet you can't go wrong with. I always start at the dessert table at church potlucks while everyone else is at the main table. :) I like pretty eyeshadows (my color palette is warm). I also like dangle initial earrings or cross earrings. I am in my mid 40's and having the best years of my life so far now. I've never participated in the SS, but several years ago I did the BHW gift exchange. I was so very excited and enjoyed shopping for my given BB. Unfortunately she wasn't as excited as I was, as I never received anything. I was a little let down, but I truly hope she enjoyed the items I sent her as I enjoyed selecting them. Looking forward to this SS. |

Location: Montana | I'm excited for this again too! Thanks for doing this!
Hi! I'm in my early 20's, I don't have any known allergies except for maybe alfalfa, which I don't eat, LOL. I don't really need anything, but everyday type horse supplies (halters, hoofpicks, chicago screws, etc.) always come in handy because they seem to sprout legs and walk off, LOL. Last year I got some lime green polos I love, and wouldn't mind having some turquoise/light blue polos for my new boy.
My favorite color is orange, but turquoise and lime green run close in the second and third spot.
I have a Boston Terrier dog named Junior who is 7, an old cat named Missy who is 11, an old bird who doesn't really have a name, LOL (he's about 12), my main horse Pebbles who is 13, and my new prospect Shazaam who is only a 2 y/o gelding (btw, turquoise/teal/blue looks really good on him :]).
I usually wear a size small as I seem to be a classic size 4/6 or 3/5, and my inseam is usually a 34". I love chocolate and enjoy a good cup of coffee. I also love to bake.
I have a passion for cars, and am in particular a Ford Mustang enthusiast.
I don't wear many ball caps, but do like fashion or warm hats as it gets cold up her in Montana.
And, I'm really not picky and I'm only putting this on for ideas! I love to be included in this, and I am not in it for the gifts one iota, so whatever I get I will be happy with.

  Neat Freak
Posts: 11216
Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I like daughters of Mr Eye Opener, Mr Jess Perry and First Down Dash...oh wait that is for the actual Santa 
My favorite color is Purple.
I have a corgi fellow named Spur.
I like grape taffy, because it is deliciously purple. Dove chocolate is great too. I hide it from the family so I don't have to share.
I wear a medium in most clothes. Something personalized with Grazing Bit Performance Horses would be neat, but simple is perfect as well.
I like military camo-digital camo. WWII history/biographies books.
Some of my favorite gifts in the past were just off the wall things that my secret santa thought of themselves. That is always fun and a great surprise.
Well I better add some more since everyone else is being all sharing and all that.
I'm 34 (going on 28 )  I have 2 sons. 2yr old and 6yr old. They both love to ride now, but the youngest is the one that is actually horse crazy like me.
My kitchen has western star designs. So anything like that is fun. If anyone is creative, I could use a 3 buckle holder that uses the horse shoes and old barn wood. I have one and since I am OCD need a matching type on the other side of the book case.
I love flower bulbs, I can't get anything else to grow in this desert country that freezes 1/2 the year and also has gumbo soil and sodium water. So if you have any that you dig up that will live in 100 degree dry heat and do ok at 40 below in the winter, that would be just peachy!
I like minion things (the cute guy in my avatar). Mostly because it drives my uppity show friends nuts.

 Don't Wanna Make This Awkward
Posts: 3106
Location: Texas | Okay....
I'm very much not a country person, I feel odd saying that because I love my horses but, I just really love being in the city with lights and all the action. I love sparkles and girly up to date things. I'm 19 so a little younger than most on the board. I'll post more details when we get assigned buddies.
What is something that you'd love to have, but wouldn't really justify spending the money on for yourself?
A wither strap... One that says "LOOK UP" on it.
Do you want something that's horse related, unrelated to horses or a mixture of both?
A mixture of both would be nice for me.
Name 3 specific items you want
Wither strap- LOOK UP, sparkles would be a plus or clear colored bling.
Plaid shirts
Headbands
Name your 3 favorite colors
Pink
Black
Blue
What are your horse colors?(Omit if you said you wouldn't want horse items)
Royal Blue
Neutral Colors
Clothing size and type of clothing/stores you like to shop at
Shirts- medium/small
Wet seal, forever 21, urban outfitters, or if you know any cute boutiques
Add any other details here
I wouldn't mind getting something that was used, if you find a good deal on facebook, craigslist, bhw, etc. Don't hesitate, I do a lot of shopping that way myself!
I love plaid shirts because of the mix of colors and like to wear them all the time not just at horse shows. I love sparkly stuff and bling as stated before, I'm a little bit of a princess :)

Location: Gainesville, TX | Hi, I have a couple pets, a blue lacy, Rio, and a yellow male tabby we call Destructor. Both are inside/outside animals.
We have several horses but my main one right now is my two year old Zephyr. I wouldn't mind a slinky type hood for her (turquoise). She has most other things that I want for her except maybe a hock wrap (cold) . But those I think run more.
I love to read, like seriously LOVE to read. If I'm not grading papers or riding horses, I'm reading. What I like to read: romance novels (especially historical and paranormal ones), sci-fi fantasy novels (more fantasy than scifi), history. I'm not a fan of mysteries.
I like pawn stars. I like to draw. I like to bead jewelry. I don't make the beads, just string 'em. A consideration is the fact that I'm allergic to most metals unless they are like 18k gold. Makes me break out in hives. I usually go with glass, wood, natural stones (even for the clasp).
As far as food goes, I'm allergic to chocolate (not white as its not real) and kiwi. I can't have anything with nutmeg or too much tryptophan (having to limit meat intake now) because of seratonin sensitivity that has put me in the ICU twice now.
I've dropped a ton of weight lately so size wise I'm not really good for. If I continue to lose I would be a completely different size by the time anything got to me. I do like Tshirts though, not fitted, the cheap walmart kind. An XL would do. They are made to fit big anyway. I like funny tshirts. I ride in them and sleep in them.
ETA: Favorite color for me is green, especially hunter. All my horse stuff is in turquoise or purple though.

 Witty Enough
Posts: 2954
Location: CTX | Here goes:
I am NOT a bling-glittery kind of person. (for which my friend keep giving me heck... )
Have 2  :Tex, rat terrier, Missy blue heeler.
1 Mini donkey named Pistol Pete that doesn't like to be touched...
3½  : 25 year old sorrel mare Mercedes, 7 yr old grey mare Misty in foal and 5 yr old sorrel gelding Dublin.
And we have a fishtank with tropical fish.
Am married without kids (the 2 legged kind that is).
my favorite colors are turqoise, black and royal blue. For the kids: royal blue, turqoise, hunter green and black.
I love ball caps, as long as they have the velcro closing in the back, and t-shirts/ hoodies. I wear a L or XL. Also, I love plaid flannel shirts!! Can't have enough of them!
And I think you can never have enough leadropes, rope halters and buckets....
Love country music, being outdoor, and am a chocolate snob... (Hersheys is NOT chocolate...  I grew up with the real stuff in Europe... ) Oh, and I am allergic to peanuts!!
Don't wear make-up or jewelry (nickel allergy, so all I can wear is solid gold, or silver) and don't like heavy flowery scents. Don't use purses.
Love reading, mostly mysteries, adventure and romance.
And most of all, I like little surprises....

Location: Do I hear Banjos? | Hi Folks! I've never participated in a Secret Santa so I'm excited to join in this year!
I'm 42 years old...sigh......Size small/medium...but really long legged
I have three horses: Appy named Jackpot (my mostly retired speed event horse), Draft/TB cross named Rowdy (my competitive distance horse), and an Arab named Lefty( the new project)
And...I have the most stubborn and sweet weenie pup ever named Sophie. Oh and the barn cat crew : Chase, Velcro, Rick, Itty Bitty and Mudflap
My hobbies other than horses are hunting (both archery and rifle), fishing, gardening, hiking...basically staying active outdoors as much as possible.
My favorite color is teal...or camo haha.
No special diets...I eat anything really. But I have a serious weakness for sugary stuff. I ate my body weight in maple sugar candy when we lived up north as a kid.
The fun in this for me is the surprise aspect. So I'd be thrilled with whatever the person might come up with! And I can't wait to see who I get so I can start planning!
Could we maybe make this a sticky so we can find it once the names are selected?

I am 29 and have been married 3 years
Other pet’s names, breed and collar size: I have 3 dogs, two are bigger lab crosses and then I have a corgi who is my traveling partner, and would appreciate a bling color! He is about 27 lb.... he's a little big for a corgi. :)

If you have a used ed wright swivel hack laying around I would not complain about that either, or one piece reins for a german martingale, however those things are quite expensive and out of the range. but if you have some laying in the trailer collecting dust, I will give them a home ;-)
I pretty much hoard tack and hacks, combo bits, etc so anything on that end small or big is awesome. Especially polos and bells. :) Overall I am easy to please.
I am happy this is happening again! I loved getting to know my buddies last year.

I love anything outdoors and routinely hunt coyotes with my fiance'. My soft spot will always be for baked goods - anything with Cinnamon rocks my world. I love the smell of lemons.

| This is my first year being a part of this and I'm so excited!
I'm 17 years old, and have one horse. She is a 14 year old Quarter Horse/Arabian cross. I adopted her from a rescue after volunteering there for 5 years. She's been my best friend for 5 years now and we've done a little of everything together from being a therapy horse to a boy with autism, to showing western pleasure, to preforming at the Midwest Horse Fair. Ever since I was little, I've dreamed of being a barrel racer, and I decided this year I was gonna buckle down and make it happen. We ran in our first race several weeks ago, and I've definitely found my place in the horse world.
I've been around barrel racing my whole life, and it's made my life whole. So with that said, I love all things barrel racing related: books, t-shirts (medium-large) or even just keychains. I absolutely LOVE bling, so anything sparkly is awesome :)
I also have a little weenie dog named Phineas :)
I also am a big hockey fan, and anything related to animals. I also love trying new foods, so if you have a food that's unique to your region, I'd love to try it! **Also LOVE Eric Church! lol**
I'm not a very picky person at all, and I will love whatever is sent to me.
Thank you!!
*EDIT*
1) Sport Boot bag or Wither Strap with “Look Up” printed on it.
2) Horse Related
3) Blingy Saddle Cross, Bronc Noseband (Horse's name is SASHA), or barrel racing stirrups.
-----Although I will be extremely happy with whatever I receive! (:
4) Blue, Pink, Purple
5) Lime Green, Turquoise, and Pink -or- Pink/Purple
6) Jeans: 29 or 7/8.
Shirts: Med or Large
As posted above, Secret Santa, you don't by any means have to get me what is on this list. I will be very happy with whatever I receive!! Thanks!

Location: North Central South Dakota, west of the Might Mo | Thank you for doing this, organizer(s)!
A little about myself, I am married to rancher and also work as an Extension Beef Cattle Specialist. Our ranch is located in north central South Dakota and we raise registered and commercial Red Angus Cattle and Quarter Horses. We have a three year old little girl, and a 10 year old Corgi dog. I just turned 40 (yes the big 4-0) and am kinda short and stocky...wear XXL in most ladies wear...
Forgot to add: I like purple and blue...and most foods, hence the XXL 
I like about anything and everything and have enjoyed the Secret Santa before---have met the nicest people, which giving gifts and meeting people is the best part of this deal.
One question, is the person we get to be Secret Santa for the same person who is our Secret Santa, or will they be different?? i.e. Last year the person I gave gifts to, was not the same person who gave gifts to me (if I remember right).<----- OK this might have been a brain lapse...I think last year we had the same people...see above regarding turning 40! Sorry!
Again, thank you for those coordinating this behemoth of an effort.

| Had a lot of excitement with this last year, so I'm happy to be involved again!
I'm in my late 20s. I like turquoise and copper colors and accent, but I don't wear jewelry or make up or carry a purse. I have 3 horses and am always in need of a good rope halter. I love chocolate covered coffee beans! I have a Basset Hound who could use a spiffy collar. I would also appreciate some simple rustic kitchen decor like maybe salt shakers. I wear a ladies large top or unisex medium. I enjoy running and cooking. Thank you to my SS last year, Lisa, who was amazing :) |

Location: Oklahoma | This is my first year & I'm super excited!
I'm 25, married with no kids. Husband and I are both Oklahoma State University alum, so you can't go wrong sending anything orange my way. I have a chocolate lab named Gus, but the real apple of my eye (yes, even over my horses) is my Dachshund, Emma.
I just started running barrels again this spring and have two geldings... a black and a red roan that I'm bringing out of retirement. I love to collect colorful bell boots (size Large) for my black gelding... pretty much anything goes except animal prints. My overall look is pretty neutral... I'm saving up for a nice tack set and then I'll get picky! I only use rope halters (one gelding sets back) and can't have enough of them! My latest obsession is colored mule tape ones. I just ask that you don't buy anything pink for my boys, but bling is perfectly acceptable! My favorite colors are oranges, blues, corals, greens, purples.. pretty much anything bright.
I also like to collect beaded/stretchy headbands to put on my cowboy hat and colorful/sparkly earrings to coordinate with the shirts I run in. I'm a size Large in a shirt. I also love colorful scarves for just everyday wear. I also like the typical girly things... perfume (vanilla based), candles, makeup, etc. I also have an over the top obession with NYC, so if you wanted to really splurge and get me a plane ticket.....
I LOVE to cook and enjoy little utensils/gadgets that aid in food prep. I also love colorful little measuring cups and dipping bowls... things of that nature. My favorite foods are Italian. Pastas, breads, sauces... I'll cook and eat it all!
I'm pretty easy going and will love anything! I'm not overly picky!
----
What is something that you'd love to have, but wouldn't really justify spending the money on for yourself? More bell boots.... I don't need any more, but variety is the spice of life!
Do you want something that's horse related, unrelated to horses or a mixture of both? A mixture of both would be nice, but I'm not complaining either way! I like typical girly things (lip glosses, lotions, etc.) along with rustic home furnishings.
Name 3 specific items you want:
3or4H Elite with 10'8" SW w/ Onan
14.5" Caldwell Pro Max
14.5 Pozzi (standard tree)
Slick by Design baby
(I could elaborate on this if needed....)
Fun colored knotted reins
Patterned show blanket (if there is any affordable ones!) to go over saddle pad
Name your 3 favorite colors
See above
What are your horse colors?(Omit if you said you wouldn't want horse items)
Right now it's leather and black/tan/brown. But I like to pair colored bell boots with whatever shirt I'm wearing and reins.
Clothing size and type of clothing/stores you like to shop at
Large and I usually shop at boutiques... I don't really have certain stores I shop at any more.

| Well I guess I need to say a bit about myself.
Im in my late 20s
My favorite color is Roan ;-)
I have three daughters aged 6 almost 7, 2. 5, and 6 months
Pets ... we have Mavis as the house dog, working dogs Tuff (border collie), Hoss (Kelpie) Fanny (border collie). Its a bit stramge to not put della on that list anymore.
Cats apple and trigger.
Horses. Annabell, Sage, Romper, Sponner, Pickles, Star, Skittles, Bo, Willie, Miles.
Hobbies - Asside from all the horse stuff, I like to sew and scrapbook and do lots of crafts and garden, I love to garden and lots of meals everything on the plate came from our farm.
Im not sure what all to say. Looking forward to meeting sombody new!
I hate asking and telling what i want! But i see we need to make a little list.
I would love a nice set of polos for my little mare, she does not tolerate boots at all, and is a very hard turning horse. I really need to find something she will work in and stay protected.
A pretty colar for mavis would be nice to (shes a bigger type dog)
Another thing i would cherish is a memory cross for my dog Della, i miss her lots.
Im really not pickey! I like all colors, my saddle seat is ostrich green (dark not lime) i have tack sets in many colors!

| I participated last year and got to know some awesome people!
About me:
I am 27, will be 28 in January.
I am a teacher and have been teaching for five years, currently half way through my masters.
I have five dogs: a JRT named Paisley, a mutt named Floyd, a blue heeler named Azul, a red heeler named Roja, and a red merle aussie named June.
I have six cats: Izabell, Holly, Monty, Scardy Cat, Jinxy, and Bobby the Bob Tail.
I have four horses:
Rosie-retired lawn ornament, trail riding horse on occasion, old 4H horse
Monster-3 year old prospect
Hollywood-my show horse who is just coming off an injury
Hank-4 year old prospect that was passed around a lot, working on his confidence, he is a little shy and unsure about things
What I like:
Anything horse related or animal related! I love bright colors, hot pink, baby blue, purple!
I am addicted to professional choice bell boots, polo wraps of any awesome color, sore no more products, PHT poll packs....I love hoodys! My size would be large for a hoody.
I am easy to please! I don't really know what else to add!!
Editing to Add the questions posted on the other thread.
What is something that you'd love to have, but wouldn't really justify spending the money on for yourself?
Starbucks gift card, Amazon gift card for E books....
Do you want something that's horse related, unrelated to horses or a mixture of both?
I really enjoy getting horse related stuff only because my family does not understand my horse habit therefore I never really get anything horse related from other people.
Name 3 specific items you want
I like suprises, that is half the fun!
Name your 3 favorite colors
Pink, Purple, Baby Blue
What are your horse colors?(Omit if you said you wouldn't want horse items)
All of the above! Bright flashy colors are my favorite.
Clothing size and type of clothing/stores you like to shop at
Not a fan of receiving clothing because I am picky, BUT a good ol hoody suits me fine if they are not over priced. For a hoody I would typically be a large, but if they run small or shrink easily then XL.
I am also happily married going on four years! :-)
As far as horse things I like anything blingy, I like Sore No More products, I like any kind of training tool or anything that I could use on my horse from brushes to MTG to PHT poll packs......you can never have too many bell boots! MY ss last year got me lime green bell boots I love and show in!!!

| Yay! This is my first year for SS and I am SUPER excited! A little about me... I'm 25, have approximately that many barn cats (I kid, but it's possible!), the proud momma of 1 super sweet mini Aussie named Lizzy and a herd of broodmares, my barrel horses (or barrel horses in progress) are Lester, Pete, and Savvy. Currently remodeling my horse barn. I am an accountant and have a serious office supply addiction. Crazy socks are great, and mine never match. I usually wear an adult small in shirts or hoodies. Rope halters, lead ropes, hay bags, bucket straps, anything that I can use, I would be thankful to receive. Love love love earrings, makeup, candles.. Basically, I'd be really excited for just about anything.

I'm in my late 20s. I like turquoise and copper colors and accent, but I don't wear jewelry or make up or carry a purse. I have 3 horses and am always in need of a good rope halter. I love chocolate covered coffee beans! I have a Basset Hound who could use a spiffy collar. I would also appreciate some simple rustic kitchen decor like maybe salt shakers. I wear a ladies large top or unisex medium. I enjoy running and cooking. Thank you to my SS last year, Lisa, who was amazing :)
Guido!
I'd love to be your Secret Santa, again! Although I'm not sure I would be as creative this time around!

Location: Mississippi | I am so excited! This is one of my favorite yearly traditions!
I have one horse, named Prada. She is a gray and white APHA mare. I run her in turquoise and purple. She is my whole world! She could always use a new blingy halter, polo wraps, or a new sleazy (she is around 1000 lbs). She also loves Forco and Healthy Coat :)
I am extremely preppy. I love seersucker or monogrammed anything. I wear mostly boutique clothes, and I shop at Buckle, too. Some of my favorite brands are Lauren James, Fraternity Collection, Southern T Shirt Co, etc. I really love t-shirt-especially long sleeves! I also colelct stickers and coozies. I love oversized shirts, so a large or XL is perfect! I am not picky!
When it comes to my riding attire, I am in need of button up shirts badly! I usually wear an XL because of the sleeve length. I love color, but am not big on plaid patterns :)
I LOVE jewelery-especially wire types.
I can't wait to start shopping!!!

| I never know what to write for these!
I currently have 3 horses - Lexi, Bella and Tuff, 4 dogs, a million cats and a goat named Petunia that is the coolest pet ever! Lexi is on her way to a trainer this weekend for the winter, so hopefully when she comes back she will be my all-around/barrel horse. She's super athletic and quick, so I have high hopes for her. Bella is my "steady eddy" that I use for everything and put anyone on. Tuff is my butthead gelding that I really don't use other than to mess around with at the house, but he's a jerk for everyone else so he stays with me!
I mostly trail ride and have always wanted to run barrels, but never actually have! I just got a trailer this year, so lately I've been taking advantage of actually being able to GO somewhere to ride.
My favorite colors are green and blue, but I love neon colors also - hot pink, lime green, etc. I usually wear a size small or medium. I love to read and take my Kindle with me everywhere! I really don't care what I get, I'm just excited to be participating again!
What is something that you'd love to have, but wouldn't really justify spending the money on for yourself?
I always buy plain things even though I love bling!
Do you want something that's horse related, unrelated to horses or a mixture of both?
I would prefer something horse related or a mixture of both.
Name 3 specific items you want
I never seem to have enough halters and lead ropes, I need a witherstrap for one of my horses. I really just want something cool/unique that I may not have thought to buy!
Name your 3 favorite colors
Greens, blues, neon colors
What are your horse colors?(Omit if you said you wouldn't want horse items)
None of them really have any colors, but I tend to buy a lot of turquoise!
Clothing size and type of clothing/stores you like to shop at
S/M for shirts, 27 or 3/4 in jeans. For regular clothes, I shop at Maurices or Old Navy, but I like westerny type clothes too. I'm pretty much always in jeans and a tshirt/hoody/flannel shirt though!

Location: Missouri | Woot! So excited to do this again! Last year was so much fun both shopping AND opening my fabulous goody box. Thank you for having it again.
Alrighty - I'm 45, single mom with two extremely bright, gifted teenagers. 16 yr old son is a total jock, 14 year old daughter ropes, rodeos and queens. I'm currently horseless, as I sold my roping horse when daughter was younger and needed more help. Someday soon I hope - so a colt from El Scorcho or a nice blue roan would be the best Christmas ever! Seriously easy to please, as I'm always the gift shopper and not the shoppee. I was ridiculously excited to get a total surprise present last year with Secret Santa! Now that my kids are a little older I'm starting to try to be "me" again - not just momma.
My third child (and favorite according to the other two) is my Catahoula - Ruger. He is awesome and goes most everywhere with us. He's with me in my avatar. Now, he would love a cool collar with bling/conchos/something - a 19". I keep meaning to get him one but two legged kids always seem to get dibs on stuff. If it wasn't for him I think I would be crazier than I am - he's my grounding point.
I am pretty tiny - 5'5 and a size 0 or 1. Or small/extra small in tops. 6 1/2 in boots if you have a pair you don't ever wear (mine are shot!) LOL. Even though we rodeo most every weekend, I LOVE dressing up. Bling, hip belts, boots, and of course fabulous blingy jewelry and the leather cuff bracelets with metal engraved sayings!! Daughter has "borrowed" most of mine for her queen outfit accessories, so always excited for new! Favorite colors are black, royal blue, turquoise, brown, and purple. Love lacy and satiny tops and underthings, the shorter western style dresses, camis, pretty much anything! Kind of a little funky but not too far out there. Also love warm fuzzy fleece or flannel jammie type pants. I have just discovered fancy headbands - both beaded and blinged - would always appreciate another! Accessories are awesome! And the wild print leggings! I love makeup (especially eye makeup and lip stains) and perfumes (doesn't have to be subtle!). Anything fun, sassy, and classy!
Hobbies: chasing two teenagers and hauling daughter and her horse on the weekends plus ropings, helping her with her 2 year old filly she is starting, reading (like murder/crime type novels especially), I time at rodeos for one association, take thousands of pictures each month - mainly of kids at track/basketball/rodeo so picture frame or anything along those lines, shoot trap some still with the kids. Other than sneaking in a book once in a while, I guess the kids are my hobby.
General likes: Chocolate (especially dark chocolate), coffee!!!, peppermint bark, alcohol (yes please! But not beer or wine - tequila, whiskey, rum, flavored vodka...!), gummy bears, pretty smelly things for the house and trucks/trailer - especially honeysuckle or a man's cologne, western/rustic home decor, snuggly blankets
General dislikes: Again, I will be completely excited about whatever I get from Santa (especially if it's the colt)!! Random - hate Coke (live on Pepsi and coffee), not a sports fan (unless one of my kids is playing!), I cook so kids don't starve - not bad at it but don't enjoy it, my housekeeping is way behind so a maid would be awesome, I can't stand coconut anything smell or taste, not into neon colors really (but do like the non fluorescent lime green especially paired with royal blue)
That's all I can think of at the moment! So looking forward to finding out who I'm buying for and shopping - it was a blast last year.

Location: Southeast, Texas | Thank you Secret Santa planners!!
This will be my first Secret Santa experience as well!
I'm Alania, but I go by Amy.
Shirt size- medium
I could give you pant sizes but every brand is different!
I have three kids. (9,4,2) Feel free to send them a candy cane, but their absolute adorable-ness is not allowed to steal my Santa's attention! [= Haha!!!
I adore my bull dog, Jax.
I don't adore my husbands Jack Russel Terrier, Shooter, quite as much. [=
I have three horses, who keep me sane.
Dirty, Three, and B.
My favorite color is line green but I love any/all bright eye catching colors.
Aside from anything horse related, be it a pack of vet wrap or polos, my favorite gifts are "homey" things. Candles, picture frames, anything of that nature.
My only hobby other than riding is crafting! I love to paint, and make lots of home decor items such as door hangers and rustic art pieces. So, anything artsy works for me too!
Food is always good! I'm not picky! I love food! [=
Excited to be a part of this!!!

Other random helpful things we should know: I am easy to please. I would also LOVE random things that tell me about your part of the country and about you!

I love artsy home decor type stuff too, basically whatever my buddy wants to do is great, more than anything last year I loved getting to know my buddy.
I am happy this is happening again! I loved getting to know my buddies last year. Klittle3 I use the polo wraps you sent me every day and I ADORE that spring form pan set!

| Okay, this is my first year participating as well. I look forward to it, as I'm highly entertained by the forum and it's so neat to hear from/about everyone! Thank you for organizing!
A little about me...I'm turning 33 next week (ugh), have three awesome kids who ride as well, and have been teaching for 11 years. My summers are spent on the road, hitting barrel races and rodeos.
Pets- I have three dogs, two chocolate labs (Duke and Spencer) and a yellow lab (Drake), 1 cat (Pippy). Horses- I own 8 horses. 3 of them haul and run (Kit Kat, Tivio & Kiss), the rest of them my kids ride, except my "old" girl and the new stud colt I recently bought (need to name) (SO excited!!) to run and breed....
Size- Medium shirts, jeans are usually 26.
Colors- I love them all, especially turquoise and copper.
I am not picky with anything, just looking forward to it!

Location: Central Texas | This will be my second year to participate in SS. Thank you to the coordinators for making it possible again this year!!
My name is Chrissy and I am 42yrs old. I currently only have one horse...21yr old 16.2 h bayTB, registered name Major Gift barn name "Cadillac" His colors are turquoise and black. He would love to have a PHT poll pack (or anything pht), new brushes and combs (especially a mane and tail comb), mane and tail detangler, bell boots (size large), if you happen to have a 82" blanket laying around that you don't need anymore he would appreciate one of those.
I have 3 Great Danes. 1. Taylor Dane 2. Sparrow 3. Hooker They all wear a 22-23" collar.
I also have chickens and 1 big, fat, lazy, useless cat. (I love her, most of the time)
I am building a barn right now so anything to go in the barn. Cute signs, hooks to hold things etc. I've never had a real true barn before so I don't have anything other than the horse to go in it.
I wear a large in shirts/hoodies. I do like blingy stuff and jewelry(I have peirced ears and love bracelets). I have long hair so any cute headbands or hats to keep my hair out of my face. I love to add scarves to my outfits in the winter and cute socks.
My house is decorated in earth tones with turquoise and deep dark red thrown in. I love antiques and rustic stuff.
I'm not picky and anything will be great. The fun is the surprise and getting to know a BB.
I'm allergic to strawberries.

Location: In a happy place | lonely va barrelxr - 2014-10-09 5:51 PM missroselee - 2014-10-09 4:34 PM I'm debating on participating this year......I think I would rather just volunteer to be a secret elf when someone fails to hold up to their end of the bargain Can we do that??? I have nothing to put on a list but would be more than happy to shop for someone who's ss drops out or disappears!
Add me to this list. I would like to cover for someone that didn't get anything.
missroselee sent me the most wonderful box of goodies last year that made me cry when I opened it. I just want you to know mrl that Pooh Bear loved the collapsable water bowl. I don't know if you know, but I lost him September 18 and that water bowl helped us so much when he was having his strokes when we were on the road and he needed water. Thank you so much from Pooh Bear and me. I will remember you forever for your kindness. |

I am just starting to ride again. It hurts. I breed horses. I am a huge race horse fan and love, love, love when one that I've bred is racing. My Secret Santa was the bomb last year. She sent me a Xanax. I would like some more. I have three chihuahuas, a pit bull, 800 cats and 15 or so horses. Hunter green is my favorite color. I wear a size 38DD in Victoria's Secret bras :) I will make a list of presents I want below lol.
1- Xanax
2- weed
3- 1 and 2
4- I'll add more later :) Oh lordy lordy women, what are we ever going to do with you? Love her! What else can we do?! That would never work. You might end up liking it as much as beer. Then we'd all hear, "There goes Jennifer again. They found her on the corner again asking for drugs, beer, and a spanking."
Thats funny, she'll be holding up a sign asking for spanking's while on a corner, instead of asking for money, lol...Jennifer your just a hoot, love ya girl |

| I'm not the best at talking about myself. Soo, here we go.
I'm 22, Brittany or "Britt". My favorite colors are blue and silver, in my logo pictured. I haven't barrel raced in four years. (So stoked about this yearling and weanling I have!) I only have babies right now. "High Life Streakin" and "Synnova" (No registered name yet). All my horses are running bred, and I will be at the track with them. I wear a size large. Love anything Pumpkin Spice scented.
I do own a rehab center and do therapy. Anything therapy/nutritional always sparks my interest! C= |

Location: Eastern OH but my heart is in WV | Loved doing the SS last year!!!!
My name is Denise and really not much to tell, other than I am a busy mother of two (Mackenzie 13 and Kaden 9) Been married to Brian for 16 yrs. We have 3 dogs (Beagle named Rosie, Palm...(sp?) names Cruiser and a Pit named Yuki), 2 cats (Oreo and Blaze), 4 horses (QH's- Jo & Annie, Ponies- Windmaker & Dream), a rabbit, chickens, ducks and goats.
Riding use to be my one & only passion/hobby but my daughter took over my horse and I have been looking with not much luck. I have become a rodeo/horse show mom and cheerleader. I am a simple person that loves God, family, friends and country living. Not really into a lot of bling but some is fine. Camo is not my thing and burgundy is my favorite color. Love chocolate, ice cream, sweets... Nothing with a strong, floral or perfume smell please. Love anything that is homemade or reflects country, America.... Of course I love anything horses also (but not cartoonish). My ears are pierced and I like jewelry but it is something I don't buy a lot of for myself. My shirt size is a 14-16 (L) and we won't go into pants size. LOL!!! Traveling to the rodeos with my daughter, I have found I really need to get some Western shirts. No allergies but I don't do hot, spicy foods. No decorating theme to my home, just what ever we like.
If you get me and have any questions you can pm "Next Thirty Years", she knows me better than I know myself. LOL!!!

Location: west of East Texas | This is fun. I'm a 51yo kid that never outgrew the horse bug. I am married, have two daughters, 17yo and 12yo, that both ride and take over my horses after I've spent a couple years on them. I'm currently riding a 5yo that I started in the spring. I grew up competing all the way through college. Then did the adult thing for about 10 years before I couldn't stand it anymore and got out of the 'city'. I live on 90 acres with 7 horses, 3 dogs, and barn cats.
My current barrel horse is Rocknroll Legend, aka Rocky, Rockhead, Crackhead depending on what day it is. "Her" colors haven't been determined yet because I generally use whatever the kids are through with. I'm too cheap to be worried about total color coordination. My dog (Punk) is a 10 pound, red tri mini (toy) aussie that is brilliant and beautiful. :)
My likes are.... just about anything. Sometimes the smallest gift is the coolest! Dr. Pepper, homemade chocolate chip cookies, 'food' flavored candles like cinnamon and sugar cookie, bling jewels, souvenir sweatshirts or full zip hoodies from wherever I visit or wherever my Secret Santa lives. I am ALWAYS in a ball cap if I'm outdoors because I can't stand my hair to be blowing around. I was just at a barrel race that gave some prizes along with the money and I 'traded down' in order to get the really snazzy cap instead of the bigger prize. :) I am always in sweats in the house because I'm extremely cold natured.
And always, always need stuff for the horses! Sometimes stuff I didn't even know I needed! :) It seems like all of the overreach boots tear up at the same time. There is always a color of polo wraps that I don't have. Or who can have too many white ones? Punk is just now getting to her full size and doesn't have any bling yet.
I really just like meeting someone new and getting to know each other better through something like this. Have fun with it and don't overthink it!

| I still don't have much of a wish list for Christmas, but here goes!
I'm Rae and I'm 32. As far as horse stuff goes, I don't need a whole lot! Gasp! LOL! I am kind of interested in a chain mouth sweet 6 bit or quick change headstalls!
I love to read, mysteries, historical romance, fantasy (think Twilight and Lord of the Rings type stuff) If you want specific authors, let me know!
I love candles. Homey scents, cookies and cake and frosting. I'm not really into the flowery scents.
I love hot baths! Can have bubbles or bath salts or Calgon!
I have 2 dogs for "kids" besides my horses. I hunt with a bow and with a gun. I do NOT like Pink camo, but would take purple camo any day!
As far as clothes go, I love Cowgirl Tuff jeans. 27 x 35 for riding. L or XL for shirts. If they are more free, L, but otherwise I need XL to fit over the girls! I could use some more purple riding shirts! Love the Bling!
I think that about sums it up! Can't wait to get our buddy and get shopping!
Editing to Add the questions posted on the other thread.
What is something that you'd love to have, but wouldn't really justify spending the money on for yourself?
Books, or Ebooks! I LOVE to read, but don't like spending the money on them. I have a Kindle App on my Ipad, so an amazon gift card would work! Plus, if I wanted paperbacks, I could order them too!
Do you want something that's horse related, unrelated to horses or a mixture of both?
Both, but doesn't have to be both. I'll be happy with anything!
Name 3 specific items you want
A million dollars, a new trailer, and a new prospect. Oops...wrong wish list! LOL
I have no idea on specifics! LOL
Name your 3 favorite colors
Purple, Turquoise, Purple Camo (Muddy Girl Camo at www.moonshinecamo.com or Realtree AP In purple.)
What are your horse colors?(Omit if you said you wouldn't want horse items)
Purple and turquoise for running, hunter green and navy blue for barn items (halters, leg wraps, sheets)
Clothing size and type of clothing/stores you like to shop at
Tops - XL or Large. USUALLY XL, unless generously cut.
Bottoms - 27/28
Cowgirl Tuff, The Funky Cowgirl, Walmart (because I'm cheap!) not because I'm in love with their stuff! But if you can find the Danskin fitted shorts in Medium, I'd love you for ever!
Add any other details here
See Above!

| I'm another new-comer to the secret santa game!!
So lets see, I'm 22, single, with no 2 footed kids running around, haha.
I have 2 geldings, an 8 year old Palomino named Nuttin, and a 5 year old Chestnut named Sid. My sidekicks are my 2 little dachshunds- a little short haired 12 lb Merle boy named Booger, and a 17lb long haired red boy named Twister.
My favorite colors are turquoise and orange, and I absolutely love anything beaded- I do have an obession with sugar skulls! I really only used braided rope halters- I don't tend to like the nylon ones much. I love bright colors and "classy" bling.
Other then that- I like chocolate, and an also obessed with "old" Disney- The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, and Tarzan movies, ect. Not so much a fan of all their newer stuff. I love fruity/beachy scented candles- drives my mom nuts that I burn beachy candles year round!, LOL). I do also love hot bubble baths, especially after a long weekend at a barrel race! I wear a small/medium (just depending on if it runs big or small). I live in Indiana, of course up by Lake Michigan, so it gets FREEZY cold here in the winter. It's actually been working on it now.

Location: Oregon | I am 27 years old, married, no 2 legged kids.
I'm a size 3 or 5 in jeans, women's medium in tops, pretty much live in hoodies. Also sweat pants when at home. Love wild rags for the colder winter races! Sometimes wear ball caps.
Love my Oregon State Beavers!
Hubby and I are just finishing up on our little house - about 750 sq feet. Always looking for western décor for that! and Painted Ponies.
Look me up on fb - Niki Davila! I'm always up for new friends!!!
I have 2 dogs - Blue Heeler named Jordan and a little yellow lab named Tiffany. Everyone always asks if she is still a puppy, as she is so small, but she is 3 years old and only about 40 lbs. I always tease that she is the little labby that never grew! Both wear about a size 15 or so collar. They are both right around 40 lbs.
I have 4 horses -
Blitz is my current competitive mare. 5 years old, dark liver chestnut/sorrel, has mostly lime green stuff - halter, hay bags, leg wraps, bell boots (large), etc
Rocky - Blitz's half brother, 10 year old cremello. Hoping I can get him over his issues from a previous owner abusing him to become a successful barrel horse. Mostly has turquoise and orange stuff. Large bell boots
Tucker - retired barrel/gaming horse. 15 years old palomino. Fractured his hock 1.5 years ago and will never run barrels again, but runs around the pasture like a mindless idiot! Totally enjoying retirement!
Kawea - also retired barrel/gaming horse. 21 year old palomino appy.
Both Rocky and Blitz could use nice rope halters in their colors! Or colored mule tape halters.. Something other than their current nylon halters.
All my horses love cookies, but Blitz and Rocky have a corn allergy - so any cookies sent to them cannot contain corn at all! They love the haystacks alfalfa/berry treats!
LOVE PHT stuff, sore no more, professionals choice, classic equine.. I'll post more as I think of more!
Love chocolate and almost anything pumpkin spice, love starbucks hot chocolate - not a coffee drinker.
Love fall/holiday type scents - pumpkin, spicey, cinnamon, etc..
Love saddle crosses - Blingy is good! :)
No real dislikes - not a huge fan of animal prints or pink, but if used tastefully, I'm ok with that.

 Am I really the Weirdo?
Posts: 11181
Location: Kansas | lindseylou2290 - 2014-10-09 9:09 AM I am super excited to join!! Thanks for organizing this! I am (cough cough) a 30 something female living in KS. I am recently engaged and am planning to be married next fall in a giant pasture party! I have 2 Border Collies - Jack 9 yo, and Meg 3 yo. and currently only 2 horses, ms fred (13 yo mare) and ms jj (3 yo mare) - They both wear large SMB's and Legacy's. I compete in mounted shooting but can be found hitting local sorting and penning jackpots and the occasional roping. I am a solid size M in tops and a 29x36 in Cowgirl Tuff jeans. I love anything turquoise in color and am not afraid to rock some bling. I am a science nerd at heart (its my job too!) with a penchant for ALL kinds of music including but not limited to red dirt country/texas country and 90's rap. My favorite adult beverage is Pendleton but I sure will sit back and drink keg beer all night too. I have recently rekindled my love for running and aim for 15-20 miles a week. I love anything outdoors and routinely hunt coyotes with my fiance'. My soft spot will always be for baked goods - anything with Cinnamon rocks my world. I love the smell of lemons. I have yet to meet a book I didn't love - seriously, I read all the time. Can't wait to get to know who I get to shop for too!!! ETA- I have poor spelling and am constantly going back to fix it!! Ok I was reading this and kept saying "ME TOO!" on so much of what you wrote....cinnamon, red dirt music, beer, running, and reading especially.
About me ---
I am barely into my 30s, live in a small town in Kansas and spend a lot of my weekends in a KC suburb with my boyfriend and his horses. I have 4 - maybe 5 if I actually talked to the people I'm riding a horse for - horses and have been competing on all of them this year. Chance and Clifford are rodeo caliber, Joker is nearing the end of his career (and I'm going to bawl like a baby when it finally happens) and Streak is a former rescue who is showing some promise on the pattern and will get to make his big show debut this weekend at state NBHA. The fifth one is Elvis, who really wants to be a goat tying or breakaway horse but I don't do either event enough to justify a horse for them. :( Everything of mine except Elvis wears large boots and I firmly believe you can never have too many bell boots. LOL. I make my own polo wraps and also sew bandanas for my mini Aussie Tuffy to wear on the weekends.
I was doing really well this summer about working out but have gotten super busy with work the last couple weeks and then been lazy in the evenings. Every night I read at least for a little while and I am completely in love with my Nook so I can have lots of books with me at all times. I read a lot of romance novels, historical fiction, things like that. Turquoise and red are my two favorite colors and I have an obsession with big blingy earrings, chapstick and hand lotion. Oh yes and I am a serious coffee drinker. The stronger the better - I will even drink the super stout truck driver coffee during late night rodeo trips. Matt is appalled by this because he adds sugar to his coffee and I call him a lightweight LOL.

Location: CA | Last year was really fun! I am so excited that we get a chance to do it this year as well.

Location: WV | What is something that you'd love to have, but wouldn't really justify spending the money on for yourself?
Halter (Running Roan Tack)
Do you want something that's horse related, unrelated to horses or a mixture of both?
Does not matter
Name 3 specific items you want
Noseband (Running Roan Tack or The Cowboy Junkie)
Rope Halter (Running Roan)
Feather Bracelet or necklace something simple or with a little bling
Name your 3 favorite colors
Teal
Coral
Aqua
What are your horse colors?(Omit if you said you wouldn't want horse items)
I have the Cognac floral headstall with antique concho's from Running Roan and a Plain leather medium stain headstall and breast collar.
Clothing size and type of clothing/stores you like to shop at
Add any other details here
Homemade items are great, soap, christmas tree ornament, misc horse items such as shampoo (eqyss), combs, bling or painted nose bands for my halter (running roan tack or the cowboy junkie). I like the aztec print bells (med), slow feed hay bag, buckets, fly spray(eqyss), conditioner, leather punch would be cool, I am a sentimental person so anything hand made would be awesome. I like to read, ( like romance but not real picky) would like to read the Duggar's new book, thin boot socks not the knee high ones, different coffee cups (I dont have a matching coffee cup in the house) , Clinique perfume is great, Pens (black ink) I have a pen fetish.  It's cold here in the winter when feeding, so warm gloves, scarf etc would be good. I like mohair cinch classic equine size 32 or 5 star. There is not a color that is my absolute favorite but teal, purple, coral, bright pink, aqua are what I usually go for.
I will love anything that I get..

Location: MI | Hi, I'm Cara! I like long trail rides on the beach, marshmallows over a campfire with the cool fall breeze...I'm a mom to 4 wonderful young children who are getting bit by the horse bug (my oldest, almost 7, fell off a couple of weeks ago and broke her collarbone, but is pretty much looking forward to riding again when she's better!). So anyway, love riding with my kiddos. I have an almost 4yo gelding, palomino, who would love a tail bag. His poor tail was eaten off by our pesky bottle calves, and is now fairly pathetic. He would also love a bronc halter noseband for a rope halter. Also have a 12yo mare who has been off this year with a proximal suspensory desmitis, an 18yo mare who is mostly my kids, and our mini. This year, we made it to playdays, a few fun shows, and camping with the horses. I live in Michigan, which loves to be wet-cold, so I often wear scarves, hats, and gloves. I don't like pastels, fragrances, jewelry, or make-up. Do like neutrals, fun bolder colors, different textures and the like. Love things 'local' to areas, so something fun from your area would be cool. I wear a small t-shirt, size 9 socks, medium-large sweatshirts. Am totally fine with used and/or homemade. I'm pretty much a no-fuss, simple kind of girl, quite easy going. Hope to meet some fun people!
ETA...What is something that you'd love to have, but wouldn't really justify spending the money on for yourself? Stuff for my horses :)
Do you want something that's horse related, unrelated to horses or a mixture of both? Either, or (totally not a good answer, I know)
Name 3 specific items you want: Could actually use an arena or performance length long sleeve button down, Nice barrel racing reins, a hay bag!!
Name your 3 favorite colors: I wear a good mix. Probably not so keen on Neon.
What are your horse colors?(Omit if you said you wouldn't want horse items) they don't really have colors, but Grimmie would prefer manly colors that look good on a palomino, maybe giraffe print?
Clothing size and type of clothing/stores you like to shop at: Size small-med long/tall

LRQHS - 2014-10-09 10:27 AM Here's my story. I am just starting to ride again. It hurts. I breed horses. I am a huge race horse fan and love, love, love when one that I've bred is racing. My Secret Santa was the bomb last year. She sent me a Xanax. I would like some more. I have three chihuahuas, a pit bull, 800 cats and 15 or so horses. Hunter green is my favorite color. I wear a size 38DD in Victoria's Secret bras :) I will make a list of presents I want below lol.
1- Xanax
2- weed
3- 1 and 2
4- I'll add more later :)
Oh lordy lordy women, what are we ever going to do with you?
Love her! What else can we do?!
sign her up for eharmony and she forgot the beer, beer and more beer!!  |

| I'm in!
My name is Jacqueline and I'm 27. I just got married 2 weeks ago, to my sweet hubby Noah. I have 2 dogs, a border collie named Luke and a mix named Henry. I also have 1 horse named Andy, but we call him Grumps. We live in a 1930's farmhouse on 56 acres that we are currently remodeling. We don't have any kids yet.
I love rustic, ranch things. Longhorns (cows in general but I LOVE longhorns), cowhide, turquoise, bling, etc. I love Bath & Body Works candles and I will not say how many I currently have stacked on my kitchen counter, lol. I love to cook and I also love photography. I love jewelry (especially big silver earrings, western-ish is a plus) and makeup. I'm not a fan of the color red unless it is dark or burgandy, but I like most other colors. I have a big sweet tooth, but please, nothing with nuts.

Location: South of Canada and North of Mexico | I live in Minnesota but travel quite a bit as my husband works pipeline all over the US. I have two children and am a stay at home mom. I have two dogs, a chesapeake and a lab/chesapeake mix, 3 cats and 3 horses. Im trying to get back into barrel racing but now my old reliable horse cut a tendon so working on getting my appaloosa going good.
I like to bake/cook if they are normal cook meals (dont need some weird ingredient to make one dish). You can never have to much horse tack ever, I love non food smell candles - leather is my favorite. Since I live by Canada you can never have enough warm mittens cute hats etc. Shirts are good (xl) pink is my favorite color, I love sparkle and I LOVE Christmas. |

I should've been already gone because I'm producing a big run tomorrow and I've got to get to the facility to start receiving attendees to unlock stalls and RV's, but I'm still home and the mail-lady pulls up. She hands me these 2 big boxes and I'm looking at the name and am SO CONFUSED. I'm thinking.... what did I order and forgot I ordered. So I open up one of the boxes and find the card. WHAT A SURPRISE.!! I'm grinning from ear to ear. I love surprises and the thoughtfulness and giving spirit of my secret santa is making my heart overflow with joy and happiness plus I'm grinning from ear to ear. Thank you Bat Kitty (my secret santa). I am going to wait and open my gifts when I return from my Turkey Twerk run. I want to be able to enjoy the moment and not be rushed. Here is a picture (well minus one box bcs I did open up the soft box and it's a barrel racing hoodie. I love it.!! )
MERRY CHRISTMAS.!!!

| I got my gifts all wrapped and packaged into a USPS priority mail box, taped to the nines....AND realized I forgot to put the card in!! So now I have to see about getting the card either attached to the box, or send it separate, but I don't want them to arrive separately. |

Location: Nevada | My secret Santa was very generous this year she sent me $2 MILLION DOLLARS (unfortunately it is just white chocolate, which is delicious). She also sent me T.H.E Flax Seed, T.H.E Calming cookies, T.H.E Electrolytes, 3D Fiber Lashes, homemade soaps that smell awesome, a dog hamming calendar, Christmas DOTS that my daughter loves, a horsey nail file, and Christmas kitchen towel and grocery list pad. I love everything and can't wait to do it next year. Thank You so much to Krystal Peterson for being my secret Santa.
Merry Christmas!!!

I like to include a card or something written to tell who I am and why I chose the gifts I did.
On a side note, my buddy is going to think I'm crazy. I wrote in my note that I forgot to include the card and that's why it's separate. Then at the post office, the lady cut open the box, threw the envelope in the box and retaped it! |

| Mine will be mailed by Friday (pay day), had to take our kitty to the er and then a specialist right before Thanksgiving for kidney failure, was a little on the exspensive side, and also are his meds we've had to get plus a bag of fluids every three days. Then last week, when I thought I could finally breath and be ok, my old mare came up very very lame. My first horse ever, this summer would have been 20 years with her, she's well in her 30's. Her meds/vet bill have been pretty exspensive also, made the hard choice for this Friday for her ( I wanted a day I could be there, Friday is my half day). I have it all, just not able to mail it yet. Sorry for the story... |

I ate way too many chocolate covered coffee beans last night. And after a long photo shoot, Shorty laid down on the couch and I was able to get the perfect picture of her and her new collar (really hope I can get it to attach)!

^^^ I'm in the same boat! And I ended up having to work halfway across the US for 2 weeks, so that put a damper on getting everything wrapped and sent. If what I'm waiting on is there when I get home, my BB's gift will be sent on Saturday or early next week! I know I have a package waiting for me when I get home from my SS. Its taking everything I have to not have hubby unwrap and text me pix!!! |

Location: DUMPING CATS AND PIGS IN TEXAS :) | Whoa! I don't think I can fit everything that Jen Bruno (Joplin 21) sent me in a picture. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! I got a hoof pick with a wine opener on the other end !!!! a cowboy kuzy, so I can carry my beer easier, a picture frame, maple syrup, maple cream (num, num, num), nicker maker horse treats, a "hide your crazy" necklace, bacon hot chocolate, "horse lovers are stable people" picture, all kind of stuff on spoons lol, a "my horse is smarter than your honor student" wall hanger....I may have missed something...if so, I'm sorry lol, it was an overwhelming, amazing gift!! (sadly the coffee cup died on the trip from NY to LA lol. I will give it a proper burial. :) The only thing I don't see in my package is my Xanax and weed..........lol, seriously, thank you so very much, Jen. That was freaking awesome. If you make it to LA the beer, boudin and crawfish are on me :)
Who knew that they made bacon hot chocolate?? lol

| I got mine, I got mine!!!! Kendra King, thank you so much! I'm sorry I don't know your board name. Now, let's see if I can post a pic!
Edit to add my phone pic is too big. When I get to a computer I'll post a downsized pic!
But my package included an awesome sweatshirt, a cool tailbag, a giant chocolate bar, a pretty set of Teal polos, a chain sweet six, (chain bits are my newest fascination, so YAY!) and a cool handmade picture which I'll have to get the story on!

Location: In a happy place | Well I "think" I got mine. My SS did not work out this year. She never did get her address to me so I returned all of her gifts. I had gotten them early. But this morning I had a huge surprise. I got a huge box with lots and lots of wrapped boxes for me, Cloudy and Howdy.
I was so surprised.
Thank you LaDonna Kline Young (Flossie) from the bottom of my heart. |

Location: west of East Texas | Rolling J is so good at this! I opened my box of treasures about 30 minutes ago and wow, she is so thoughtful with so many different things in my box. She covered all the bases with me, my family, my horses, and my dogs! I love seeing a glimpse into other families and local flavor so the coolest part was the letter introducing herself and her family to me along with the pictures. That was so fun to read and see. Thank you, thank you Rolling J. You are wonderful! |
