Help my ass is froze Christmas Barn Party


Jacey's ready for the Famous Morstar Christmas Party
2nd Annual Christmas Barn Party was a great success, I'd say, modestly, judging from the all smiles and hugs.  The weather was a little better this year except for a bitter wind.  It poured rain last year.  I bet all the horses were glad to come in, eat treats and get groomed. Some dear friends were working and were missed.  Our youngest barn member, Sierra and her friend Amy, saddled up and were gone first, so excited to be riding.  They were the winners of the stall door decorating with handmade horse decorations and lights!

Sitting on hay bales kept our butts warm.  Shawna, brilliant,  rode her horse bareback to keep her bum warm.  Mug o'Bailies kept her insides warm.




Bobbing for carrots, best horse game ever! Oh, the horses were up for that challenge.  Heather's horse, Sierra, had the hardest time trying to get a swinging carrot in her mouth.  Frodo, on the other hand, nailed it in 10 seconds !







Heather baked sweet treats for all the horses.  Her Pampered Chef square stone has only been used for that particular purpose since she bought it.  She should write to them and do a testimonial hahaha

People treats were based on food the horses eat: Borsht soup instead of beet pulp, with Oat bread, salad instead of grass,  Carrot burgers, Hot mulled apple cider, Haystacks, and  … Carrot Cake, of course !
Since I have never made Borsht, never even tasted it, I wasn't sure if it was right.  I was more than happy when Eric told me he was Polish, borsht is a Christmas Eve tradition for him and that I had nailed it ! Alexis said he had Ukrainian friends and my borsht was spot on.  Hmmm might make it again.  Last year I made carrot soup.  What other soup I can make … grass soup?

Merry Christmas from Morstar Equine
