Location: Missouri | I am so excited you are doing this again!!! I've had so much fun in the past, shopping and receiving (I've had THE BEST secret santas)! Made some new friends as well. Perfect timing, too - our association finals is the first week in November, so I can shop while I'm there!! I actually saw some things last weekend when I was in the city that I thought "oh I hope we do secret santa again, this would be a great idea".
I'm a single mom of two teenagers (one away at college), so I'm always the one shopping for gifts - this is truly the one thing at Christmas that is for me - thanks for letting me be selfish LOL. About me: well, I go from timing at rodeos to being rodeo queen mom to working full time in a professional setting, so I wear everything from rodeo clothes to bling & wow to office dress clothes. My "personal style" is more of the rodeo bling/chunky turquoise/trendy western. I like to eat, read, sew (tons for my rodeo queen daughter, not so much for myself). Shamelessly addicted to coffee, chocolate, jewelry, and makeup. Besides my two human kids, my Catahoula "Ruger" is my 3rd child. My decor is pretty much "early end of rodeo season" and dog hair at the moment - hat boxes, boots, odd bags (maybe someone send me a housekeeper?!), three big dogs running in and out - during the winter when I'm home it's mainly earth tones with western style (Tim Cox prints, metal crosses, laser cut metal western wall hangings) with a bit of a minimalist approach. The LQ in my trailer is browns/copper.
- What is something you really want, but would not buy for yourself? The knockoff imitation Yeti stainless big tumbler/travel mug things - they're like $10 at Wally World (ya I'm a cheap date lol). ETA: body lotion/creme/perfume - for winter I love amber undertones, or super moisturizing lotion for everyday! Scarves - infinity or normal - love these but never buy them (more neutral & jewel tones & fall plaids or knits - not pastel)
- Would you prefer a gift that was horse-related or not? Or a mix? Either is awesome, but since the horses are technically my daughter's (see below), I'm going to lean more towards not as much horse/tack - unless it's for the rider!
- 3 specific items that you would love to receive - I would rather my secret santa just shop! It's awesome being totally surprised - this is the only time of year I get that and it has been wonderful!
- Favorite color - turquoise, coral, copper, black, leopard print
- Horse names, colors, sizes, etc. - I still haven't been able to replace my personal horse I sold when daughter got so involved in rodeo, but she "let's" me ride her young one to help put miles on her. For some reason I used to think working with the green ones was fun, sigh - we're getting there though. So, I'm still horseless, technically. Zee (her filly I ride) is a 15h sooty buckskin, built like a tank overall and in need of a weight loss boot camp.
- Information regarding your other pets - Ruger (3rd kid and in my profile) is my Catahoula - my pride and joy. He has traveled everywhere with us since he was 5 1/2 weeks old and keeps me sane. He got an awesome collar from my secret santa a few years ago, but has worn it out. He would love a studly looking macho dog collar (he's huge for a Catahoula - 95 pounds with a 19.5"ish neck)
- Other - I'll love anything you choose - easy to please, I'm a thrift store & secondhand junkie, for clothes I wear a size 0 or 1 x 34 jeans, xmall or small shirts, love LOVE palazzo pants - add them to my addictions (I wear them to work too), long sweaters, anything warm, soft and furry. I am ALWAYS cold. My latest treat to me: The Instant Gratification jewelry at Hobby Lobby - leather bracelet with changeable metal sayings. I have one - the thin brown leather wrap cording bracelet that takes the smaller metal sayings (only have one hook on each side) - so there's an idea! Oh..and I love sugar skulls - on pretty much anything!

Location: on my horse | - What is something you really want, but would not buy for yourself?
My horses get all my income, I do have a polo wrap problem and never turn those down lol. I would love a new wild rag, mine is getting pretty ratty and I love hand made things from my buddies <3
- Would you prefer a gift that was horse-related or not? Or a mix?
Horse related or a mix I don't care just happy to be here
- 3 specific items that you would love to receive
Things from your home town, I love finding out where my buddies live and am a themed coffee cup collector.
- Favorite color
Turquoise and copper but love everything

Kitty (my precious princess) 10 year old dun mare 14.2hh regular sized head and blanket size 75
Batman 4 year old black gelding 13.3hh small head and blanket size 64ish
nobody really has a color scheme going on. I guess most of Kitty's stuff is copper or earth tones and turquoise. Batman has everyone's hand-me-downs so looks like a rainbow barf explosion at the moment lol. Kitty is the horse I do everything on including run barrels. I would like to eventually show Batman but he's green and we will have to work out the color thing

cat- bad tiny
dogs - Timber (kengal/transmontano mastiff cross aka GIANT) and Sonney (kelpie)

I'm in my mid 20's, live in a cold weather state, trail ride a lot besides running barrels, collect all things horse, I love to bead and braid, sew and draw beyond the horse addiction. Size medium or large. I'll add more later as I think of things.

Horses names Koony bay quarter horse size, Escape Bay quarter Horse, and Red sorrel quarter horse all are geldings Koony is my main barrel horse I ride him most the other two I have stepped off for the time being so my son and daughter in law can run as I would rather them haul with me than have the horses. So Koony is my man. All my horses wear m boots and 78 blankets.
I have a Aussi name Roper and a Kelpie puppy named Sister and then we have a heard of cows
Other information I love anything. I am a teacher/radiologic technologist LOVE teaching, I am not a fancy person at all I don't do jewelry, makeup or anything like that but I will rock the heck out of some western bling like spur straps, belt etc. I Like hoody's, Sweat shirts, t shirts, love arts and crafts, any thing to do with a horse. I don't like stuff to set around the house.
I read (Murder Mystery's) sew, do home improvements (Just recently redid my bath went all the way to the floor joist and back up, sub floor, tile cabinets, pluming the whole thing) wood work, crochet, I like anything for a horse I think I might be obsessed with halters as I have like 20 but still want more, I wear Medium size,
Forgot to tell y'all I am OLD 50+ years old. Most likely the oldest one on here but that is ok.

I really like lotion, especially the ones that smell good. My hands get so dry and a nice creamy, nice smelling lotion is always appreciated.
- Would you prefer a gift that was horse-related or not? Or a mix?
I like a mix.
- 3 specific items that you would love to recieve
Surprise me :) But I'd really like to find a really soft pair of one piece reins. I don't know who makes them or where to find them, but I used a set at my trainer's and loved them! They had snap ends for quick change, but they were SO SOFT. They are braided and I think are probably made out of cotton, but I'm not sure.
I'd also really like an over/under whip.
- Favorite color
First Orange, then second turquoise. I like most anything colorful
- Horse names, colors, sizes, etc.
My main mount is Pebbles (Reds Foxxe Lady Bug), she's 15 this year and she is a chestnut. She's about 14.2 hands high and wears a medium. I've been using pink on her, but have no set color. My other horse is QT (Hills Dashs Black QT), and she's 2 years old. She's currently at the trainer, and I'm not really sure what size she is yet. She currently stands about 14 to 14.1 hands, but I expect her to get bigger. She's as black as they come with a white start, strip, and snip (think Black Beauty). She's definitely a handful so far! She looks good in about any color, but I'm planning on going with zebra print and turquoise with her as that is the tack set I have for her. She looks great in orange too!
- Information regarding your other pets
I have a 9 year old Boston Terrier dog, larger than any other Boston Terriers at nearly 40 lbs (and a purebred!) He's smart as can be, but is getting older. He's also spoiled rotten, LOL. I'm hoping to get a new mini Aussie pup some time in the near future, but don't have one yet.
- Other
Well, a little about me, I'm in my mid-20's. I love horses, dogs, Ford Mustangs, Dodge Cummins trucks, dark chocolate and Starbucks coffee. I have a definite sweet tooth too! I work all the time, whether at my job, extra projects or with my horses. I live in Montana, where it gets cold a lot so I appreciate anything warm from socks to scarves to gloves. I really like to read, but I don't have a set genre, basically anything that captures my attention. I typically wear a size small in women's shirt sizes, but hats/helmets I'm typically a medium. I want to become a better rider and barrel racer, but that is hard to wrap up and put in a box, LOL. My horses are what are important to me, and they are what I work for. I have had so much fun with this exchange and that I am most happy with whatever and am glad to be included again.

Location: Oregon | I am 29 years old, married, no 2 legged kids.
I'm a size 5 in jeans, women's medium (sometimes large if they fit smaller) in tops, pretty much live in hoodies. Also sweat pants when at home. Love, love, love wild rags for the colder winter races! Sometimes wear ball caps.
Love my Oregon State Beavers!
Hubby and I have a little house - about 750 sq feet. Always looking for western décor for that! and Painted Ponies. Been moved in about a year, and I've still done absolutely no decorating! lol!!
Look me up on fb - Niki Davila! I'm always up for new friends!!!
I have 3 dogs - Blue Heeler named Jordan, a little yellow lab named Tiffany and an Australian Kelpie mix named Perla. Everyone always asks if Tiffany is still a puppy, as she is so small, but she is 5 years old and only about 40 lbs. I always tease that she is the little labby that never grew! Perla was our rescue from Cabo San Lucas this May. She was at the humane society there and we decided to adopt her and give her a happy life! All three wear about a size 15-17 or so collar. They are all right around 40 lbs.
I have 3 horses -
Blitz is my current competitive mare. 7 years old, dark liver chestnut/sorrel, has mostly lime green stuff - halter, hay bags, leg wraps, bell boots (medium/large), etc
Rocky - Blitz's half brother, 12 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. Medium/Large bell boots
Tucker - retired barrel/gaming horse. 17 years old palomino. Fractured his hock 2.5 years ago and will never run barrels again, but runs around the pasture like a mindless idiot! Totally enjoying retirement!
Something I could really use is another set of reins for races. I have recently fallen in love with the circle y braided reins available from the tack stop.
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/feathers/etc - Blingy is good! :)
No real dislikes - not a huge fan of animal prints or pink, but if used tastefully, I'm ok with that.
I'm super excited for the Secret Santa this year. I love shopping for people and surprising them!

Well to tell a little bit about me, I am 19 years old from the dead center of Wisconsin. I am going to school at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls for pre-veterinary medicine with an equine emphasis. I love to cook and bake, and ride my horses. I love all things barrel racing, and going to rodeos with my school's rodeo team. I wear a size 28-29 in jeans, size M in shirt. Also totally fine with receiving gently used tack, I like to be thrifty hah Also love sweatpants, hoodies, and baseball caps! Big Green Bay Packers fan, and huge hockey lover (Joe Pavelski specifically). Cornbread english muffins are also a favorite food of mine, that they just don't seem to sell this far north.
I hope that helps my secret santa a little bit, but I honestly will be thrilled with whatever I am given. I just love doing this!!

2. Reply on THIS THREAD with details about yourself; some good items to include from last year were:
- What is something you really want, but would not buy for yourself? I would like a bottle of 8 Second Whiskey because they don't sell it on my end of the country LOL! Homemade jewelry (but not shiny gold) (my ears are pierced), or some True Texas Country Music. Like I listened to Chris Stapleton before he was famous or some good Christian Rock or Hip Hop Bronc halter (and not a rope one because I don't know how to work one so instructions would have to be included -so embarrassing!!)
- Would you prefer a gift that was horse-related or not? Or a mix? A mix is fine, I'll be great with whatever!
- 3 specific items that you would love to receive
A belt- I wear a size 27 waist jean so a med belt I'm guessing. Nothing too fancy. Black or brown, nice buckle. I've lost weight and none of my jeans fit so I wear a belt every dang day! I'm tire of the same ones!!
A tie down holder I'm one short and never think of it.
I can can always use Bell Boots something with no-turn. I usually use Iconoclast or PC. My boots are boring black or white bahaha so I guess I could get a lil' crazy with boots ;)

Location: Way up North | - What is something you really want, but would not buy for yourself?
One of the new style button down arena shirts, like the Roar ones or Panhandle Slim, etc with the designs on them.
- Would you prefer a gift that was horse-related or not? Or a mix?
Either is fine
- 3 specific items that you would love to recieve
I would love a nice button down or even just some cute western t-shirts. I have a hard time spending money on cute clothes so I love when I recieve them! I prefer more solid colors as I look stupid in plaid. Size large.
Western home decor would be wonderful. Our house is pretty much tans and browns so some pops of color would be good.
Homemade/handmade anything is always appreciated. I feel like those things always have a story behind them and I love that they are unique and thoughtful.
I also love training videos especially ones on just getting a horse really broke like the Chris Cox ones or Ian Francis and I don't get Barrel Horse News anymore so a subscription would be cool.
- Favorite color
I love classic black and silver (boring I know) or dark jewel tones. I hate yellow.
- Horse names, colors, sizes, etc.
My two main ones are "Yahtzee" she is by BandW's stallion a Dash of Color, she is a red dun with high whites like her dad and crazy face markings. She is a 78 and medium/large in most things. I will hopefully get to futurity her next year and I am so excited! My other is "Fox", she is my itty bitty red roany cowpony I use for sorting and ranch rodeos. She is a 72 and small/medium. I love classic white leg wraps on both and bright colored bells although if I could find those turquoise aztec ones from a couple years ago I would love them.
- Information regarding your other pets
I have a very spoiled miniature English Bulldog named Daisy and an equally spoiled house cat named Squeaker (she's the reason for my nickname)
- Other
Married to my best friend, no human kids. We live on an adorable little hobby farm in the middle of nowhere that is my favorite place in the world. I make tack, purses, and leathergoods so I am pretty set for those things. I am slightly addicted to Caribou Coffee but I will only drink iced coffee, no idea why but I am not a fan of any hot coffee. I'm trying to become one of those really efficient people so anything that helps me set goals, stay organized, etc. would be awesome. I love to read but have been so busy with my business I can't remember the last time I have read a good book.

| Hi there! I'm Berkeley. I work and am also a WVU Grad student getting my Masters in Ag, graduating in May, and working towards a job with the USDA. There's a lot of things I want but wouldn't buy for myself! Lol. I like horse related gifts but I love regular gifts too.
-My favorite colors are turquoise and blues.
- I unfortunately don't have any horses right now due to being in school. I just ride others' horses when I get the chance.
-I have a 10lb blonde terrier/poodle named Bradley.
-I like deer hunting (gun and bow), riding horses/barrel racing of course, camping, being outdoors, hanging out with friends and family, having a drink especially sweet white wines, like WV made items and food, am a big coffee drinker, and I will soon have a 2004 Chevy 1500. My current vehicle shuts off weekly so this truck is new to me and I'm excited!
-I'm a big earring wearer and love small to medium dangly turquoise, nifty rock, boho, lucky brand, etc type earrings.
-I have a variety of things I would like so I will list a lot of them, not so I'm being stingy but so there's a lot of options for someone to choose from! Lol.
-I would like to have a pair of rolled leather/pleather barrel reins, a snaffle D-ring bit, Marys Moo Moo figurines, a hunting knife for gutting/skinning a deer, a handmade wooden cross (plain, deer, scripture, or somethin horsey on it), a nifty coffee cup, a Lucky Bucky shirt, camping cooking supplies like a tea kettle or perculator, country Christmas ornaments, country music mixed/regular CDs (Miranda Lambert, Pistol Annies, some upbeat newer stuff, or 90s upbeat songs that are good for jammin). I also have one pair of high waisted Wranglers that unfortunately don't fit me anymore and I would like to have another pair or a pair of medium/higher waisted bootcut medium wash Wranglers or Levis. I wore a 3/4 in Wranglers but those are a little baggy on me now so maybe something smaller and my inseam is 34! Somethin plain but that makes my butt look good,haha.
I really think that's all I can think of! Whoever gets me, I really appreciate anything you get me! It doesn't have to be on the list either so no pressure :)

Location: The best kept secret in TX | First Time Secret Santa Participant here....
- What is something you really want, but would not buy for yourself?
- Would you prefer a gift that was horse-related or not? Or a mix?
A mix would be fine.
- 3 specific items that you would love to recieve
Gloves for my little one (See the Other section below)
Tall Socks for boots
Anything hand made
- Favorite color
Dark Royal Purple
- Horse names, colors, sizes, etc.
Mr. Lee, (sorrel in color) wears Red, 78, Medium Boot, Medium Splint, Regular size halter and tack.
Annie, (liver chestnut in color) wears Red, 72, small boot, small splint, regular size halter and tack.
- Information regarding your other pets
Sadie Lou- Lab/Chow Mix. About 80lbs. Yellow in color with black skin. She's a senior dog with Hip dysplasia.
Gracie Rae- Standard Aussie/Pit mix. About 60lbs. Black in color with a white shield on her chest. Middle aged dog. If buying a collar, she needs a thick made collar. At least 2inches in width. She is very strong.
My daughter(s) also have an obsession with fish for some reason. LOL
- Other
My littlest girl is mine and my SO's biological daughter. She is 1 year old. She is very small and petite and has a rare disease called Raynaud's Phenomenon Syndrome. (Pronounced Ray-Nodes). Raynaud's is a circulatory disorder in which the extremeties can lose blood flow due to stress or cold conditions. The hands turn white, then blue, then purple and sometimes red when the blood is returning to the extremeties. If her hands stay white for longer than an hour we have to take her to the ER to get help. If blood never returns to the fingers or toes, they have to be removed. Keeping warm is crucial to people with Ray's. The Doc said it's painful when the blood returns. There's tingling, numbness, and sharp shooting pains until the blood flow returns to normal. There is no cure.
So, she is in need of gloves to manage episodes during the cold. I know mittens are warmer but she can't play with mittens and hates them. All the gloves I have found are for toddlers and do not come close to fitting her. She can't stand mittens. She would need someone to make her a pair with fleece lining to keep her hands from losing blood supply while cold. Honestly, this is all I want for Christmas. A pair of gloves that fit her would make me so happy! ETA: I have measurements. I've contacted a few people via Etsy and facebook and even paid for 3 or 4 custom made pairs of gloves and never got them...
A little more about myself for my Secret Santa per BHW Secret Santa: I wear an XL shirt and prefer solid colors. None of my clothes fit after having baby. (Imagine that! lol) I do like jewlery and wear a lot of leather bracelets/necklaces/and rings. I wear a size 8 ring but most of mine are adjustable. I'm not into bling much but like red and turquoise stones or beads. The more natural the jewlery the better. I have purses for days at my house but usually just end carrying the diaper bag instead. I carry my wallet with me a lot and might could use another one if you found one. Again, nothing fancy. I'm very easy to please. I like simple things. Hope this helps my Secret Santa! I am very excited to find out who you are!

Location: London Ontario | Thanks so much in advance for doing this! I have done this the last two years and have had wonderful experiences both times. Not only is it fun seeing what people can make for each other but I also love buying things for people! I like the challenge (although my credit card may disagree!!!)
A little about me: Mid 20’s from Ontario Canada (yes, brrr). I own my own house with my lovely boyfriend who is a team roper and farmer. I have a futurity colt right now that is on track for the spring races. She is off the track and her name is Peaches (I didn’t choose it!!! But she is sweet like a peach!). She is 15.3 and sorrel. We like neutral tons like beige, brown, black with a little bit of color like turquoise or pink. We also love Cheetah prints. Bling is always nice too!
I also have two German Shepherds who love treats, tennis balls and anything that squeaks!
A mix of both horsie and non horsie stuff is always nice! For non horsie stuff I love Vanilla scents in scented candles and melting wax’s for my melter! I am a big fan of milk chocolate and almond anything. I love mascara and trying new ones to see what brands I like best, all I care is that they are black and non-waterproof! I also like fun ball caps to wear while riding. Also subscriptions to horsie magazines are also nice! My Western Horseman just expired? I love bringing tea and coffee with me from home so a GOOD thermos or Yeti coffee cup would also be a real treat.
Some horsie stuff that would be nice are mule tape halters, tie down keepers (I love bling ha!), medium or large bells (I am currently looking for pinks, mint, purple or the new CE Splash color!) Used PC or CE boots in purple (front) or pink or brown (hind) would also be amazing! Mohair or Merino wool cinches, small or medium button downs, Cowgirl Tuff jeans in 27x37, spur straps(funkier the better!), ladies spurs with small shanks and rowel(not super sharp is what I like), BOT or PHT anything, Cowboy Magic, Hat sponges to clean dirty felt hats. A set of white polos are also nice – I think they look extremely sharp on sorrels. A Second set of leather barrel reins with a laced braid would also be handy so I don’t have to keep change my one set around.
As I said earlier used anything is perfectly okay with me, I know I will be tickled pink with anything I receive!! looking back now it seems like a lengthy post but I know as a shopper its always nice to have more info then needed!!!

Location: Glendive Mt. | Count me in. I love this and look forward to it every year however I have not been able to participate the last two years. I have met some amazing people through this and look forward to it again. I will post my list in just a bit. |
|
| |
|
| I did this last year for the first time & it was super fun!
A little about me- My name is Nicole Chapman(Add me on Facebook!), I'm a recent college graduate. I'm single, and the only kids I have to speak of are the furry 4-legged type! I'm a size small/medium, usually a small though. That being said, I'm a HUGE disney fan- Favorite movies include The Lion King, Mulan, & The Little Mermaid! Also an equally as big Harry Potter Fan- I'm a member of the Gryffindor House!
I have 2 geldings- He Aint Nuttin (Nuttin) who's a 10 year old palomino gelding. JJ Special Tee Sid (Sid) a 7 year old chestnut gelding. They're both super naughty, but Sid is certainly the instigator of the duo. I have plenty of pictures and videos of him hitting Nuttin with sticks, LOL. I only use white Classic Equine polos on them when I run (neither are fans of boots), but I do love patterned Classic Equine Bells! (Size large). They love all things treats, and are totally spoiled rotten.
I have 2 little weiner dogs- Twister a red long haired male who's about 19lbs. His side-kick is Booger, an 11 pound little dappled guy. Again, they both have more personality then I really know what to do with, but I couldn't imagine my life without my little co-piolots!
My favorite colors are pink, turquoise, and orange. I love fun picture frames, chocolate, candles, jewerly... I've always been intrgiued by the essential oils/Do terra oils, but I really have no idea where I would start on that! I'm not a coffee drinker, but I do love Hot chocolate. Now that it's cold most mornings I have a Tervis full of Hot chocolate with tons of marshmallows!
Anything I receive would be appreciated! A mix of stuff for my horses, dogs, or myself! I'm really laid back and love to have fun. I don't think there's such a thing as a bad gift!

- What is something you really want, but would not buy for yourself?
Hmmmmm.......Husbands pretty good at letting me get what I want :D
- Would you prefer a gift that was horse-related or not? Or a mix?
Mix, I'm not picky
- 3 specific items that you would love to recieve
Again not picky. I love my horses and kids, not necissarily in that order.
- Favorite color
Not sure I have one but I do lean more towards blues and dark/sage greens
- Horse names, colors, sizes, etc.
Remedy By Choice, a.k.a Rita, she's bay, star and tiny snip and hind sock. She's only two and about 13.2-13.3. She's cutting bred, plan to cut and rein on her. She's too worried about looking pretty then running fast for barrels.
- Information regarding your other pets
We have buffalo and cows, they are his, IMO, but he insist they are "ours". Annie, the Doberman, thinks she's a cattle dog. Along with 6 horse total and one on the way, due in April.
- Other
We are just finishing up a kitchen remodel. Husband is self employed logger/log truck owner. I am a stay at home mom to two girls almost 8 (Nov 1st) and 5. I like to sew and ride when I get the chance. Kids love riding with us. |

| I've never participated in this before but it looks so fun! I'm super excited to go shopping :D
1) What is something you really want, but would not buy for yourself?
I don't know...most things I want but won't buy for myself are probably out of the price range for this but probably a really nice, fancy leather halter or tack set. Buck-stitch, tooled, blinged, fringe, I love it all.
2) Would you prefer a gift that was horse-related or not? Or a mix?
I'm good with either :) I love spoiling my ponies but I'm not opposed to other kinds of gifts.
3) Specific items that you would love to receive:
I'm listing more than three to give my secret santa plenty of ideas and so there's more of a chance I'll be surprised :) Please don't feel like you have to stick to this list, though. I'm not picky so go shopping and have fun!
- Bling/tooled/buck-stitch wither strap
- No-turn bell boots, sports medicine boots (Iconoclast or Classic Equine) (see below for colors and sizes)
- Scrapbook and supplies (stickers, paper, pens, etc.) for my latest project. I want to make a book of my jr high and high school years so everything is in one place.
- Craft supplies like paints, canvases, stencils, etc.
- Blue tooth saddle speaker
- Heavy leather split reins
- Leather headstall; same as above. I love buck-stitch, bling, or fancy tooling.
- Make-up and jewelry; I like pretty much anything and everything.
- Crew neck sweatshirt (size large usually)
I love homemade stuff (food, decorative, etc.), chocolate, coffee (I have an addiction), socks, and owl or cow themed anything.
4) Favorite color:
Purple, probably. I also really like pink, turquoise, copper, burgundy, black, and pretty much all shades of blue, too.
5) Horse names, colors, sizes, etc.:
Cash (AQHA reg. Dont Look Back) - 10 years, seal brown, 15.2, lanky racehorse build, size medium/large sport boots and bell boots, regular size headstall. I usually run him in black and cheetah print. But I'm not opposed to throwing some color in there, too. Red and turquoise, maybe?
Reba (AQHA reg. Docs Ima Rock Star) - 5 years, true black, 14.2, stout cutter type build, size small/medium sport boots and bell boots, small/regular headstall. She's been on the back burner so I'm really just now getting her going. Colors for her are still up in the air. She looks good in just about everything but I'm leaning toward pink, turquoise, purple or a combination of those.
6) Information regarding your other pets:
I have a small hobby herd of cows I've kept back from past 4-H projects: Chanel, Yoda, Queenie, and Stella. They're basically all big dogs and everyone who knows me knows they're my babies lol They're spoiled almost as much as my dog and horses. Then I have my actual dog, Moose. He's a black Border Collie/Kelpie cross with some random white markings. He's a monster but I love him :) Medium/large size collar.
7) Other:
A little about me...I'm a college student (University of Idaho) in my sophomore year. I'm studying Psychology with a minor in Addictions, geared toward becoming a substance abuse counselor (potentially Ph.D). I love to trail ride and go to quite a few o-mok-sees every year in addition to barrel and pole events. I like traveling, performing (vocal - jazz and blues mostly), reading (fav series right now is Outlander), writing, crafting, yoga, and camping. Also, I'm not allergic to anything, food or otherwise. |

Location: Illinois | Hi all! Excited to participate again! Did this twice a few years ago of course under my old username which I can't remember at this point since I'm drawing a blank! LOL But had a blast and got some amazing gifts still to this day I absolutely love. I will be a backup elf as well!
- What is something you really want, but would not buy for yourself? I have no idea!
- Would you prefer a gift that was horse-related or not? Or a mix? Mix!

Mule tape Halter
Over and under whip
Surprise me!
- Favorite color? Purple, turquoise, and black. I'm a huge sucker for cheetah print and serape! More bling the better!
- Horse names, colors, sizes, etc? Ricky (saddy satten) Size 78". He's my one in a million. Love him to pieces, he'll be 24 this April. I constantly ride him and run him few times a year. He's my gem.

- Well other than barrel racing, I'm an equine vet assistant and a bartender. Going to be 27, single, no kids!

Anything Harley Davidson too. I have an addicted to headstalls, leather reins, polos. Love anything beaded, embroidered, and custom! Lol
I have a Pandora bracelet I wear 24/7 so always looking for some charms to add!

Location: Lost in the corn of Iowa. | What is something you really want, but would not buy for yourself?
I'm not really sure, I usually don't know what I want until I see something. I'm like a squirrel, the idea
is there one minute....and gone the next.
- Would you prefer a gift that was horse-related or not? Or a mix?
A mix, but either one is fine with me.
- 3 specific items that you would love to recieve
I'm adding more, I know :)
Simple earrings
Small horsey tack item, saddle cross, something cute and beaded.
I like coffee, the flavored kind the best. Right now I'm hooked on Chocolate coffee.
A pretty neat (and fairly large) coffee mug would be neat too.
Barrel racing books, like different drills and tips to improving yourself.
- Favorite color
Turquoise, Chocolate brown, and beaded stuff
- Horse names, colors, sizes, etc.
Quick Cash Kid, aka Corona. Foundation QH 16.0 hh and 1100 lbs (I swear she's a mini draft!!!)
Size Large leg wear, Size 82 sheet. <<< I told you she's big!!
Jess Knee Deep, aka Jessi. Appendix QH 15.2 hh and maybe 950 lbs
Size Medium leg wear, average size horse
- Information regarding your other pets
I have a HUGE indoor cat we call him George, and in his mind he thinks he runs the joint. He probably
does honestly. He will play with anything that moves, not so hot in the mousing department though.
Also I have a 4 1/2 yr old blue heeler that we call Middy, anyone that has been to Australia knows what a Middy is. But for those of you that haven't, it's Australian for a half pint of beer. She's a small heeler so hence name Middy. She travels just about everywhere with me. And for some unknown reason she'd prefer her life living in a small trailer either in it or tied to a 6 ft rope under it than having the run of the house and running free around the yard. Silly puppy.
- Other
A little about me, I grew up riding English as a kid taking lessons. Then stopped to have and raise my
two girls. I have just recently gotten into barrel racing within the past 4 years, but this year I finally
have put all the pieces together. I am a seasonal rider living in Iowa. I don't have any arena of any
sort. So in the down time I like to just hang out with family and craft and make quilts, and oddly
enough I like to bake stuff. Nothing fancy but just baking in general. I'm pretty laid back and more of
go with the flow kind of person, and I think I have a pretty decent sense of humor. Filtered of course
for the general public

Then don't judge SouthTXPonyGirl.
She was only looking out for the ones who got stiffed last year.
Her question was a fair question and was asked in a nice way. SouthTXPonyGirl is one of the nicest, most welcoming people here but be warned she will ask the questions everyone is thinking but are too chicken to ask themselves.
Now, as far as the gift exchange goes, I've already made two purchases and I can't wait to hear how everyone else's purchases are coming! I am so excited to be participating! |

In all fairness, I think STXPG was just worried about a "new" BB (first post) signing up and was questioning her. In the past there have been some very disappointed people because people have signed up and then disappeared (not saying that justgasinit will do that)....I know Roxie, personally, and she has a heart of gold. I don't think that she EVER meant any "ill will" and hopefullly, justgasinit will not take it personally! JMO !!!! Good Luck to all and hope you all get GREAT gifts !!!!! and make NEW friends !!!! |

she may have been a long time lurker and finally made an account, may have an old one she doesn't use anymore, or may just be excited and signed up! In the spirit of the season let's give her a shot before we trash her please ladies? This is why we have emergency elves, lets say you feel like you're going to get "grinched" let the bhw secret santa head santa know! That's why they are there, have done that before myself and everything worked out fine. 
ETA: for whoever said she stalked her on Facebook, maybe just send her a PM and say hey to begin with before we all start talking like the new BB doesn't exist.
Sorry if I sound grouchy it just makes me sad, we have enough to be sad about in our daily lives and this little exchange is always one of the highlights of my holiday season and would hate to see someone get crushed simply because of a misunderstanding.

Oh hold up---STPG is one of the sweetest, most welcoming and loving folks on this board. I think some folks got "taken" (for lack of a better word) last year and she's probably referencing that. She has a heart the size of her state. . . .
Hoping it all works out for the best for everyone this year!!! I had my hands full this year so couldn't do it, but loved it last year. Merry Christmas and happy shopping for everyone involved

You can send your gift(s) to your SS buddy anonymously, and let them guess who you are, or you can let them know who you are. It just depends on however you want to do it. :) |

For the most part it is random...or I tried to make it that way. LOL. However, this Santa is human and I won't guarantee that some of you didn't get each other.

7 pair of gloves and a bag of hot hands! Couldn't have came at a better time. It's 30 degrees here in Texas and my little one will have warm and toasty hands and feet!
The gloves are a bit long in the fingers but she loves them and is wearing them around the house and dancing with them. She was so excited!
Whoever my secret Santa is: YOU ARE AWESOME !!! My heart is full. |

So exciting! I figured Lopin Leopard would be a crazy good secret santa! I'm going to try to remain "Secret," but I'm SOOOOOOO curious to know if my victim loves her stuff. I sent them in 3 separate packages, because I thought that would add to the fun. She should have them all by Friday. I hope she posts here, cuz I don't want to blow my cover! I LOVE BEING A SECRET SANTAAAAAAAAAA |

It's so cool when you can get something that you feel is kind of personalized! I hope my Santee (LOL) "gets" the gifts I sent. I don't know her at all- only from what I could find on BHW. I didn't even try to creep her on facebook. The tracking info shows they are all delivered. I didn't add my name or handle, cuz I thought it would be fun to stay secret. I also did the Facebook "secret sister" gift exchange, and turns out, I know the gal I got there. I feel a lot more pressure to get that one "right." I still haven't sent her gift... maybe I'm overthinking it! haha |
