| I love doing the secret Santa here every year!
Little about me.
Just moved to Terrell TX from sw Louisiana. My husband and I have 4 horses (all mares!) and 3 dogs.
I'm not sure what I want that I won't buy for myself. Lol
A mix of both would be great. Every year I am tickled? when I open my box.
3 things I'd like to receive?
Hmmmm bell boots (size medium), maybe a headstall? And ????
I like any color. Except maybe yellow. Just not a big fan.
Like I mentioned above I have 4 mares.
Jazz - my retired girl I've owned 15 years.
Chick- my little red headed crazy train. I adore this mare. Even on her bad days. And she's had some bad ones!
Cajun - my newest one. This big quirky mare has quickly worked her way into my heart. We've had our struggles but we're getting there.
Sunny- bought her for my husband but he wasn't riding her so.... I took her and put her on the pattern. She has shocked me. Just a good natured fun mare.
My dogs...
Spur-my blue eye blue merle Texas heeler. This guy is my buddy. He goes everywhere that he can with me. When my anxiety kicks in and I start getting anxious, or have a panic attack, he sits on my feet until I calm down. Just an amazing boy. He loves squeaky balls and the nerfdog frisbees that Walmart carries. It's the only frisbee he'll play with. Go figure!
We also have 2 other heelers. Both are my husbands dogs. Lizzy and Aggie. Their amazing dogs. Just not like spur in my eyes. Lol
I think that's it. Hope it helps!!!!! | |

Hmmm.. I usually find a way to buy everything I need, but I can always use Medium boots, pre race pastes (calming or lung support), Vetline electryolyte pastes, treats, use your imagination. I'm easy to please.
- Would you prefer a gift that was horse-related or not? Or a mix?
Like I said I'm easy to please. I would like whatever speaks to you :D. Getting a surprise box is always fun!!
- 3 specific items that you would love to recieve
I'm not really sure. I love the new blue scroll and grey damask from CE so would be cool to have something in that pattern. I have mesh hay net I use as a fan bag, I would love a fan bag so I can look sophisticated lol.
- Favorite color
Pink, purple, turquoise are my favorites. On my horses neutral colors are good too like white, black, brown. No red or yellow.
- Horse names, colors, sizes, etc.
9 y/o sorrel QH mare Miss Cee Hickory "Miss Cee" she is about 14.3/15HH.. haven't taped her in a long time so don't remember.
Will be bringing home a weanling next fall so if you know of something that a new weanling could use I would love it!
- Information regarding your other pets
My dog is 13 and her name is Kira, she is a GSD mix and about 55lbs, I also have a tuxedo cat Jaques (like Jaques Clouseau in Pink Panther, they both have little mustaches)
- Other
I love surprises, I also love scented candles and Bath and Body Works especially their scented plug in refill things! I also love to drink mint tea or honey vanilla chamomile tea in the winter before bed. Gift cards are fun and easy for the busy purchaser.
Not a big coffee person, not a big Aztec or arrow fan. I'm allergic to chocolate and red food dye so please only white chocolate if you plan to send some with it. | |

Location: Oklahoma | I will play this year
- What is something you really want, but would not buy for yourself?
Anything Magna CU. But that will come with time! I don't ever buy anything for myself... ok, if I have to put something... I really want a new Hoodie (xl or xxl) I like them big and my "newest" is 5 years old now.
- Would you prefer a gift that was horse-related or not? Or a mix?
Does not matter to me!
- 3 specific items that you would love to recieve?
Hay bags/nets/slow feeders; dark chocolate; bath salts
- Favorite color
Turquoise, Black
- Horse names, colors, sizes, etc.
Horse 1-CS Roan Flurry *Buckskin Roan Mare* 4 yrs old. size 76, Black/Turquoise are her colors
Horse 2-Dash Of Pacific *Buckskin Stallion* 9 yrs old. Size 76, Black/Turquoise are his colors ****he isn't back yet, but working on it and I sold all his stuff when I sold him******
Horse 3- NOT BORN YET... In utero... will be a roan and a good chance of being a blue roan colt.
- Information regarding your other pets:
3 Aussies and a cat that thinks he's a dog.
-I have 2 daughters: Devyn is 10 and Carsyn is 1
I'm not a picky person to shop for. I'm not into bling or fringe. I will be hopefully showing Ranch Riding next year and they're more on the conservative side of things. The biggest gift I'm getting is Duncan. Many know his back story and I'm still in awe he's most likely coming home. We are still ironing out the details. There are many pictures on facebook under Kelchlin Quarter Horses of what the 4 legged children look like. If anything, cards and a gift to a needy family would make me happier than anything.

Location: East TN |  YAY i look forward to this every year! 
- What is something you really want, but would not buy for yourself?
I would buy this for myself but just haven't found any at a decent price, my boys need new sheets bless their hearts haha. I have been wanting to buy or at least read "Gold Buckes Dont Lie" by Fred Whitfield. I've heard it is an extraordinary book to read. (i finally have a perfect front porch for sitting, enjoying coffee and a good book <3)
- Would you prefer a gift that was horse-related or not? Or a mix?
Horse related or not, i love all gifts! horse stuff is obviously very much a welcomed gift but i like other things too, things that smell nice, coffee, rustic home decor, candles, big comfy sweaters/shirts/hoodies
- 3 specific items that you would love to recieve
Can never have too many bell boots (brighter and funkier the better)
never have too many lead ropes either
Good smells...whether it be perfume lotion or candles!
- Favorite color
favorite color(s) more like it! I like Black, turquoise, maroon and any natural/earth colors
- Horse names, colors, sizes, etc.
Pay Me High "Champ" - dark line back dun (spirits twin i like to say  ) 78' sheet, L bell boot,
Sir Moons A Lark "Coupe" - big stout sorrel with a bit of chrome, 78' sheet, L bells
- Information regarding your other pets
" Aspen" my Rat Terrier/ Jack Russell mix - queen of the land, best co pilot around and strict enforcer of the "no mice prevention act" in the barn
"Buddy" my border collie mix - his name says it all, he's never met a stranger and wants to be everyone's buddy.
- Other
I recently moved into my first home... (EEK!) and am going with the rustic industrial look; that being said, i am in the process of making one of those ... for lack of better words ... cluster F walls
 its just a bunch of random rustic objects and horse related items strewn strategically on my accent wall. I would love to be able to add something from my secret santa on the wall! whether it is something bought or something rustic laying around your barn/home, it'll have a new home on my wall. :) | |

Location: Gainesville, TX | What is something you really want, but would not buy for yourself?
I love kitchen gadgets but have a hard time spending money on something that does only one job, even if it does it really well.
- Would you prefer a gift that was horse-related or not? Or a mix?
I always love receiving anything, horse related or not.
- 3 specific items that you would love to receive
This may seem funny, but the lampshade on my lamp in the living room has been busted up by my daughter (21 months old). I would really like something western to replace it with. Decor colors are mostly fall, burgundy and green and golds. Its just a typical size lamp, not really big or small, but it needs a shade that screws in at the top, not one that just fits over the light bulb.
My daughter turns two in January and I really love outfits or toys for her. She ADORES books, especially the ones with thicker pages and great pictures she can easily turn. She had us read her the same book multiple times a day and right before bed.
We just moved too, so I am looking for some cool western art to hang on my walls. None of the stuff from our previous house seems to fit this one well.
- Favorite color(s) = Turquoise, Purple, Hunter Green
- Horse names, colors, sizes, etc.
Zephyr, black mare, about a 70" for most stuff or cob sized (she is only 14.3); Breezy, sorrel gelding, about 75" for most stuff, typical horse sized (15.3); Rodman, black stud, a yearling now so will be growing bigger. Should be the same size as Zephyr. We have a lot of broodmares and weanlings coming every year. We love having extra foal and colt sized halters on hand for them (three coming in the spring).
- Information regarding your other pets
Dog, Rio, blue lacy. Average size dog, weighs about 60 lbs. Destructor, cat, male yellow tabby (doesn't really need anything).
- Other
I am allergic to chocolate, so if you were thinking of sending something to eat please avoid this. I am also allergic to metals that are not 18k gold or platinum and since both of those are well out of the "about $50" limit I don't worry much about it but jewelry or anything worn with metal is a no go for me.

| What is something you really want, but would not buy for yourself? I have a hard time buying anything for myself that isn't "useful" (aka most things girly) like earrings, bracelets, headbands, etc. But usually, if it's something I really want/need, I'll just buy it myself.
- Would you prefer a gift that was horse-related or not? Or a mix? I'm thankful for whatever goodies I receive; I'm not picky.
- 3 specific items that you would love to recieve: Bucket straps, top loading hay bag, candles...
-favorite color: Black and red
- I have 5 horses currently: Pete, my semi-retired barrel horse (he had an acute case of EPM earlier this year and isn't 100% yet); Savvy, my 4 year old Chasing Firewater mare who will soon have to fill Pete's very large shoes. She's a gritty girl and doesn't know she's only 14.2h; Ace, my husband's horse we rescued out of a kill pen, the sweetest horse on our place; Stella, my Goldseeker Bars broodmare; Ruby, 7 mo. old filly. All horses are average size, aside from Ruby of course :)
- We have 2 dogs, a 1 year old German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois named Apollo, who is 68lbs and easily the smartest dog I've ever owned, and a 9 year old Aussie mutt named Lizzy, who is 15lbs of attitude :)
Merry Christmas!! | |

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | Thank you for granting me permission to participate and sub my hubby as a recipient rather then myself!
At the moment, I know if I asked him what anyone could send him, he would say Grizzly finecut wintergreen!!!
Apparently they only have copenhagen over there and it's 6 bucks a can!!!
But I know he would enjoy any type of American goodies, he loves those red fish thingies, the gummy candy stuff ( I have no idea what they are acutally called).
I will post again later as time goes and I figure out what some things are that he's asking for. We are still trying to figure out the best way to communicate and it's not easy! | |

Would love a cup holder for my saddle/saddle horn! I would also appreciate (can be used and cheap) a Navajo style saddle pad or a rawhide or Navajo working breast collar.

-My favorite color is turquoise/blues.
-I farm and love it, and women farming things decals, etc are cool.

I can't think of anything I really want but wouldn't buy for myself. My general rule of thumb is: If it's over $20 I probably won't buy it lol
I think A mix of gifts would be lovely.
I can't think of anything specific I'd like to receive. I like anything really.Â
Favorite Color is Purple but our barn colors are red and black.Â
Lee, Sorrel 2005 Model Gelding. He's a normal horse size in halters. Medium size boots.  Annie is a liver chestnut mare. Normal horse size in halters and small in boots.Â
Sadie Lou is a Senior Yellow Lab/Chow mix about 60lbs
Gracie Rae is a Black Aussie/Pit Mix -About 50lbs.Â
Mopar is a Grey, Brown and Black Schnouzer/Basset Mix -About 20lbs
Julie is a Solid Black Cat who lives with my mom, but she would enjoy treats as well.Â
My home is decorated in a modern Morrocan, gypsy, boho type theme. Grey walls, pops of color on the furniture, paintings, and linens.Â
I enjoy Yoga after everyone is in bed and walks and talks with my two year old little girl when I am not at work. My little one has Scleroderma with CREST syndrome so she has a lot of unseen disabilities and pain. She is my pride and joy. She keeps me going when things get rough. She enjoys dinosaurs, insects, hound dogs, horses, and cats. She likes getting mail. Sometimes I mail her things just so we can walk to the mailbox together to get her packages.Â
What a cool mom you are!!! | |
