I thought I would forward this to all you horse people.
HAPPY HOLIDAY'S FROM MAGNOLIA MINI HORSE FARM



A Horseman's Christmas 

It's the night before Christmas, we're out in the barn 
Blanketing horses to keep them all warm
They're eating their dinners, tucked in cozy stalls
Not aware that it's Christmas or any special day at all 
 
 They can dream of spring pastures from their pine-scented beds
No visions of sugarplums dance in their heads 
But we people are thinking of merry parties and such
Maybe feeling a little sad at missing so much

This season is special but the horses don't know
We've got work to do before we can go
We finish the chores and head on inside
To get ready for dinner and our own yuletide 
 
 It's nearly midnight, the carols are sung
I remember a story I was told when I was young
How at midnight on Christmas Eve
The creatures of the barnyard can speak to us with ease

I am called to the barn, I wade through the rain
I know I must go, I can't really explain
I slide open the door, pause for a while 
Then slowly walk down that dimly lit aisle

A nicker from Noble, a wink from Sonny 
Sleepy old Pride waking to see 
Ollie rustling his bedding, a snort soft and light 
Each horse gave a greeting as I walked through the night 

I thought about parties bright lit and warm
The ones we don't go to 'cause we have the barn 
And vacations and holidays that we don't get 
When we're working long hours for vet bills to be met

Walking all the way to the end of the aisle
I stop to stroke Lilly, it brings me a smile
She snuffles my face, hot breath on my skin 
It starts me to thinking about my horses, my kin 
 
I could be at parties with laughter and mirth 
But where I am right now is the best place on Earth.
