Do you give your horse and pets Christmas presents?

Ranna · Well Schooled

Nope.
I love my animals dearly but since they have no clue about what's going on and are spoiled every day of the year I see no reason to do even more spoiling because humans made up something. :D

I usually give the ponies stud muffins, cut up carrots and apples (their favourite treats!). I get the dog a new toy and he always buys my mother in laws dogs a treat as well! I find it a good excuse to get them some new toys and the ponies can never have enough treats!!

Hell yes. They are members of the family and every one of them gets something. And usually, they buy presents too!

For sure! My Mom has two dogs and a cat, and they will get a little treat for Christmas (pigs ears for the dogs, catnip toy for the kitten) aww

Cut up carrots and apples mixed with a warm beet pulp used to be my old boy's favorite treat!

NaturallyUnbridled · Well Schooled

Yes, I usually get them something(s) - but I don't wrap them! :)

Mirya R · Yearling

Yes I give my pets Christmas presents! Ranna does have a point though, they are already spoiled. But its fun!!! Except my horse started eating the tinsel on her stall and it was found all through the bedding when I cleaned it.

On Christmas Day I go through the barn and each horse is given carrots and one apple for Christmas on behalf of their owners and of course I do it for our beloved schoolies just because I love them so much and am greatful for having them!
My own animals usually receive gifts from many people - candy canes and treats for the horse's, toys and treats for the dog's and cats, so I don't usually buy for them.

Barngoddess · Yearling

Oops! Busted! I have to admit that this year the two Labs are getting a couple of awesome "Kennel Club" toys that I found at Winners a few weeks ago. But (she whines) they were SUCH A BARGAIN I couldn't resist!

Hahaha my dog gets stuff that we want her to have. Last year we gave her a new bed, and this year she is getting a car harness and maybe a new leash.

Julius · Well Schooled

I have a x-mas stocking for each every year, they enjoy taking the toys and goodies out themselves : )

I'm getting excited to see my Mom's cat amongst all of the boxes on Christmas day, he has a thing for sitting in boxes -- he'll be overwhelmed with box joy! biggrin

SoftTouchTraining · Well Schooled

The dogs get bones and a toy the cats get a new scratch box. Then at dinner everyone gets some of the turkey after we finish eating. The horses (all 14) get an apple apiece and extra grain.
