Location: Gainesville, TX | 1.) Would you prefer a gift for your home, yourself, or your horse/pets?
I am flexible.
2.) Please list your favorite (1) Horse's name, age, sizing, color you prefer them to wear, etc.
My stud colt could use a pair of bell boots, large. He is 2 now, 15.00 hh and black. I like to deck him out in rainbow colors.
3.) Please list your pets and other horses names, age, color they look best in etc. here.
My dog could use a new collar if someone wanted to do that. His name is Rio. We tend to put him in red, size large.
4.) Describe your home decor if you would prefer a gift for the home.
We moved last year and I could really use some pictures for my walls. Western themed.
5.) Describe a clothing item you have been eyeing but cannot bring yourself to purchase for yourself. (Feel free to PM BHW_SECRET_SANTA your size if you are not comfortable posting it here.)
Nothing much here.
6.) Do you have children? Tell us a little bit about them.
I have a 2.5 year old little girl. She is very girly and likes Mickey Mouse stuff and My Little Pony and kitty cats. She wears 4T.
7.) List your top 3 favorite brands for grooming tools, blankets, and other small gear.
I like professional's choice for most things. If they are not available, I am not too picky.
8.) List your top 3 favorite brands for treats for your horse, dog, or other pets.
We don't give a lot of treats or if we do its things like alfalfa cubes or a bit of meat we have on hand.
9.) List 3 things you DO NOT want, or have excess of. (Body brushes, curry combs, treats, boots, etc.)
Can't think of anything.
10.) List 3 things you need right now for your barn. ( Buckets, hoofpicks, leads, halters, grooming supplies, treats etc.)
We can always use buckets, hoofpicks, halters (we prefer rope style), and leads. We have used the heck out of our lunge line so a new one would be appreciated.
List any other comments or things we should know about you here.
If you get me anything edible, no chocolate please. I am allergic.

Location: Missouri | Ohh! I want to participate this year! 
1.) Would you prefer a gift for your home, yourself, or your horse/pets?
That’s tough. Probably my horse or myself.
2.) Please list your favorite (1) Horse's name, age, sizing, color you prefer them to wear, etc.
Frenchy – 17yo sorrel. Wears a size 80-82” (I think…) Regular sized halter as long as it’s rope or mule tape. Prefer her in purple or a neutral. She wears large bell boots.
3.) Please list your pets and other horses names, age,color they look best in etc. here.
Snow – 20yo bay, my daughter’s horse. My daughter likes to put her in purple or pink. I’m guessing 78” sizing. Wears a regular halter, medium bells.
4.) Describe your home decor if you would prefer a gift for the home.
Not to be cliché but I really do love farmhouse décor. I tend to use a lot of neutrals and sometimes navy hues. I love pillow covers with sayings or scripture on them, mason jars, and burlap.
5.) Describe a clothing item you have been eyeing but cannot bring yourself to purchase for yourself.
I’ve really been wanting a cute Simply Southern long sleeved shirt, or something similar. Otherwise, I’m terrible about buying myself cold weather items that make it less miserable to ride. Like decent gloves, tall warm socks, good hats, etc. I usually suffer through the cold… So little winter riding essentials that you love would be really appreciated! I wear a size small shirt.
6.) Do you have children? Tell us a little bit about them.
4yo girl who loves all things horses (of course!). She has a horse themed room. She loves getting gear for her horse. She’s also really into Disney princesses, particularly Elsa.
2yo boy who loves construction, Thomas the train, and playing in the dirt. Lol.
7.) List your top 3 favorite brands for grooming tools, blankets, and other small gear.
I’m really not picky at all. I tend to pick up whatever looks good at the feed store.
8.) List your top 3 favorite brands for treats for your horse, dog, or other pets.
Not picky, and neither is my mare. She eats whatever treats I offer up!
9.) List 3 things you DO NOT want, or have excess of. (Body brushes, curry combs, treats, boots, etc.)
I really can’t think of anything, other than reins and headstalls. We don’t really give our dogs treats.
10.) List 3 things you need right now for your barn. ( Buckets, hoofpicks, leads, halters, grooming supplies, treats etc.)
I appreciate anything, it will get used! But what I can think of off the top of my head that we could use now: extra halter and lead, a few brushes/hoof pick. Those things tend to wander away. LOL! I could really use a decent lunge line….mine’s on its last leg.
List any other comments or things we should know about you here.
*I love to read when I can find the time. Non-fiction, or history based fiction are my favorites. I love British history and early American history, especially.
*I’m a runner and a bit of a gym rat….lol.
*My fav color is purple. I love coffee and creamer and hot chocolate. I really dislike winter and cold.

Location: Way up North | 1.) Would you prefer a gift for your home, yourself, or your horse/pets?
I am not picky
2.) Please list your favorite (1) Horse's name, age, sizing, color you prefer them to wear, etc.
If I had to pick this year it would be Fox, she's my little 8 yr old 13.3 hand red roan cowhorse. 74 or 76 in blankets, I use mediums on her, she wears white boots and whatever color bells I find that day
3.) Please list your pets and other horses names, age,color they look best in etc. here.
Yahztee is my barrel horse, she is 6 and is a red dun with high whites and splashy face. Size medium and the same white boots with colored bells and a 76 or 78 in blankets. Josie is my old retired broodmare, she just hangs out and eats for a living these days.
4.) Describe your home decor if you would prefer a gift for the home.
I have an 8 month old so my decor is pretty much what's user friendly and not fragile.
5.) Describe a clothing item you have been eyeing but cannot bring yourself to purchase for yourself. (Feel free to PM BHW_SECRET_SANTA your size if you are not comfortable posting it here.)
I have been eyeing a Miller Ranch navy pinstripe button down in size XL. I am not super picky as long as it isn't really low cut or clingy. (I actually got an outfit from my SS before I still wear it all the time!) I really want to track down one of those pretty Pendelton wool knockoff or those pretty printed aztec vests because it's cold up here!
6.) Do you have children? Tell us a little bit about them.
I have an 8 month old son. He was born with a cleft lip and palate so it's been a rough start but he is doing great! He has turned into a little beefcake and is wild and busy as can be. He wears 12 month right now
7.) List your top 3 favorite brands for grooming tools, blankets, and other small gear.
I love the SS tack blankets! I really want some of their nylon blanket liners to layer as mine live outside 24/7. I like trying new stuff so I have a variety of brands for gear.
8.) List your top 3 favorite brands for treats for your horse, dog, or other pets.
9.) List 3 things you DO NOT want, or have excess of. (Body brushes, curry combs, treats, boots, etc.)
Halters and brushes I have in surplus but I love a nice leadrope
10.) List 3 things you need right now for your barn. ( Buckets, hoofpicks, leads, halters, grooming supplies, treats etc.)
Buckets are always great because I hate having to pack and unpack the trailer all the time. My haybag has been repaired a few too many times so I could really use a new one.
List any other comments or things we should know about you here.
I make tack, purses, earrings, pretty much all things leather related so I am set for those types of things.
I love reading but rarely have time between trying to work and take care of my son but I keep getting told to read that Rachel Hollis (sp?) book Wash Your Face so I would love something like that!
Coffee is life these days. I drink it alllll day and up here Starbucks is okay but Caribou is the way to go!
I won't lie, I am not one of those got it together people but I would love to be! Between my son's doctor appointments and trying to run a business it gets hectic so anything that would help keep me organized and efficent would be super helpful. Or organizing all of my craft supplies and tools because I have taken over our tiny house.
On that note I could really use some trailer living quarters organization. Like a hat rack or some sort of over the door thingys because my trailer is pretty small and I hate constantly having to move stuff to get to something else. | |

| 1) Would you prefer a gift for your home, yourself, or your horse/pets?
I’d prefer a gift for my horse!
2.) Please list your favorite (1) Horse's name, age, sizing, color you prefer them to wear, etc.
Belle (Howies Docoleta Bull) is definitely my favorite one in the barn. She’s an 8 year old buckskin mare she looks great in any color but I prefer her to wear blue! She’s a size M in boots and bells, 72 in blankets, and a regular size for halters.
3.) Please list your pets and other horses names, age,color they look best in etc. here.
Strider is my 15 year old quarter horse gelding, he’s special to me because I trained him on barrels and poles myself and sold him almost 9 years ago but I was given him back this summer which I couldn’t be more excited about! I’ve actually ran him at two barrel races since getting him back and even for not seeing the pattern in YEARS he still put me in the money and didn’t miss a beat! Like Belle, he also looks best in blue! (Can you tell it’s my favorite color ??)
Charger is my 6 year old German Shepherd rescue with a floppy ear! She’s the best dog I’ve ever had and is spoiled rotten her favorite thing to do is look for squirrels in the yard!
Jade is my 3 year old German Shepherd and you’ll always find her with a tennis ball in her mouth! (She is literally addicted to them)
Bruno is “technically” my boyfriends German Shepherd, he’s an 18 month old police k9 used for tracking and apprehending suspects and narcotics detection. He’s the most gorgeous and intimidating dog I’ve ever met but he loves belly rubs and cuddling!
4.) Describe your home decor if you would prefer a gift for the home.
I think I’d prefer a gift for my horses or dogs!
5.) Describe a clothing item you have been eyeing but cannot bring yourself to purchase for yourself. (Feel free to PM BHW_SECRET_SANTA your size if you are not comfortable posting it here.)
I don’t really have an item I’ve been dying for but I could use some more long sleeved shirts size L
6.) Do you have children? Tell us a little bit about them.
Nope, unless the animals count!
7.) List your top 3 favorite brands for grooming tools, blankets, and other small gear.
I’m really not picky! I’ll take whatever is on sale most of the time!
8.) List your top 3 favorite brands for treats for your horse, dog, or other pets.
I love classic equine products, but I’m not really all that picky and the horses and dogs will honestly eat anything. Shallow creek bits also sell a laced leather rein that I love and could really use another, and you can also never have too many leather quick change headstalls!
9.) List 3 things you DO NOT want, or have excess of. (Body brushes, curry combs, treats, boots, etc.)
I think the only thing I could go without really is polos, I have sooo many! I do have quite a few body brushes as well.
10.) List 3 things you need right now for your barn. ( Buckets, hoofpicks, leads, halters, grooming supplies, treats etc.)
You can never have too many halters or lead ropes! All of my lead ropes have somehow managed to rust within a few months so I could especially use some of those! I also somehow managed to break my mane and tail brush recently and have been using it without a handle ??
List any other comments or things we should know about you here.
I recently got back into running barrels this year after taking a break from it while I was in college, I started over completely so I’m kind of at the point where I’d be happy for anything that’s gifted to me! You don’t realize how expensive horse items are until you’re buying them all at once! Lol I recently purchased a custom beaded breast collar that has blue and neutral tones with cream buckstitching and I’m now obsessed with anything beaded!
