YES!! We do decorate the stalls, at the Morgan barn I work at. My Fjords
are much to mischevious to tempt them with anything new. They would find
their way to it even if I thought I made it Fjord proof. I do light up the
barn though when I get the chance, and they all get a stocking "hung by the
chimney with care" in hopes that St. Nicholas soon will be here!!!

We use sparkly paper garland and bows. Old cards with great pictures,
wreaths and don't forget your favorite staple gun fully loaded, and a carpet
knife with a retractable blade. Than your set for a decorating party, as
long as somebody brings the hot buttered rum and cider.

Good Luck, and have fun the skies the limit.

Catherine - you hit the nail on the head with the manure:)  I am sure Sven 
has pulled a manure spreader in the past - but, while at the trainers (team 
work) they will pull a spreader...part of the program there:)

I can see I have alot to learn about team work -- fortunately, the fellow I 
am sending Sven and Lena to has a super reputation.  He will get me all set 
up:)

Happy decorating -- I have lots of ideas but no follow through:)  Not enough 
time in the day!

Enjoy the day everyonewinter is heretemp 11 with -1 wind chill 
.but no snow.

Linda,

When your team is trained, you can drive them and let them pull the manure
spreader.  It will be more fun!

As far a team work, we are just wet behind the ears... I am not expert.. but
we do find that for non show events, the un matched pairs will work out.  It
is amazing how adaptable the equine really is.  Be sure to use the correct
equipment and adjust the lines according to the needs of your horses.

The only time we have had problems was using too short of poles.  Equine
just do not like getting hit in the hocks with the wagon (or whatever you
are pulling).
ADS has charts for the size equine and what size your shafts and poles
should be.

Holiday Cheer...
I am trying to get into the holiday spirit and will start decorating the
front entrance way of our farm.

Question(s) to everyone?  Do you decorate your barn / stalls ? If you do
tell us how do you decorate them.

When I managed at a hunter/jumper barn, we when all out with each horse
getting a stocking...
