✨ Prosecco Pony Club: Christmas Edition ✨

This is what the holidays look like at Willow Grove.
Horses dressed (mostly) with patience.
Riders dressed with enthusiasm.
And friendships wrapped up in tinsel, laughter, and just enough festive chaos.

Prosecco Pony Club is about showing up for the joy of it—
having fun, not taking ourselves too seriously,
and remembering that horses bring us together in the very best ways.

From ugly sweaters and Santa hats
to barn aisles full of laughter,
this Christmas party was everything we love about our barn family.

Grateful for the horses who tolerate our nonsense,
the friends who make it brighter,
and a community that knows how to celebrate hard work and fun.

Merry Christmas from our barn to yours 🎄✨
Here’s to friendship, festive ponies, and a little sparkle in the arena.

Shortest day. Longest night.
Still—our inner light shows up, steady and strong (kind of like a good school horse). 💫🐴

😂 What would your horse say about you in therapy?

QUEENIE’S CHRISTMAS LIST

(Written by Her Royal Highness, obviously)

Dear Santa Claus,

It’s me.
You know. Queenie.

I trust you’re already aware that I run Willow Grove, even though the tall horses pretend otherwise.

I’ve been extremely good this year.
By good, I mean:
• I allowed humans to adore me
• I tolerated being brushed without formal permission
• And I only pinned my ears a little when boundaries were crossed

Here is my very reasonable list:

1. Treats.

The good ones. Soft. Fancy. Presented respectfully.

2. A crown.

Waterproof. Windproof. Mud-resistant.
For obvious reasons.

3. More tiny humans to admire me.

But only the polite ones.
I do not train chaos.

4. A heated shelter.

Because I am delicate.
(Do not argue with me.)

5. Pockets in Chloe’s coat exclusively for Queenie.

If others benefit, that is accidental.

6. A sign that says:

“DO NOT TOUCH THE QUEEN WITHOUT TREATS.”

7. A personal assistant.

Someone whose only job is emotional support and snack delivery.

Thank you in advance, Santa.
Failure to comply will be noted.

Regally yours,
Queenie 👑

MR. SKITTLES’ CHRISTMAS LIST

(The Mayor. The Therapist. The Snack Detector.)

Dear Santa Claus

Hi. Hello. It’s me.
Mr. Skittles.
Everyone’s best friend. You may proceed.

I’ve been very busy this year:
• Teaching humans confidence
• Being emotionally available
• Standing perfectly still while someone figures out their life

Here’s what I’d love for Christmas:

1. Treats.

Any kind. All kinds. Surprise me.

2. More hugs.

But the quiet kind.
The kind where humans breathe and cry a little and then feel better.

3. A slightly bigger hay pile than everyone else’s.

I don’t want drama.
I just want fairness.

4. A cozy blanket that smells like safety and peppermint.

5. Extra slow days.

More standing. Less rushing.
I am excellent at being still.

6. A plaque that says:

“World’s Best Horse / Emotional Support Mini.”

7. Treats again.

Just checking you’re paying attention.

With love and infinite patience,
Mr. Skittles 💜

The struggle is real.....

Great advice 🤓🐴

I love this analogy! The next time your mind becomes muddled, like a tangled mess of words and fears...pause and imagine all that sediment floating to the bottom. Let gravity take the words, images and feelings...and when your mental glass is clear, make a statement about where you will go next. For example, and now I will pick up the left lead and do a 20 meter circle in a rhythm.

Has this ever happened to you? Drop a 🐴 in the comments so we can unite in our sleeplessness. 😂

As the sun rises over the barn, it brings a sense of calm and renewal. 💫

The snow glistens, the air is crisp, and the day begins with quiet beauty. 💞

These are the moments that remind us why we love this life. 🐎💫

Don’t you ever wonder about the conversation the horses have with each other. One of the Biggest one in the barn at 17.3 hands / Christo, having a chat with one of the Littlest, Mr. Skittles aka Feed the Rainbow 🌈
