Holiday Horse Traditions

One of our favourites is an eastern European tradition from long long ago where horses predict a girl’s marital prospects.

“To predict whether she would get married in the next year, a girl would sit backwards on an unsaddled horse, whose eyes were covered with an apron, take the horse’s tail in her mouth and observe in which direction the horse headed. If the horse moved towards the gate, it meant the girl would marry soon, and if it moved towards the stable or the fence, it meant that no one would attempt to win her affections that year.”

Dear Santa, I’ve been a good boy this year! But as I gain in years my arthritis in my right knee is getting very painful, I need to increase my anti-inflammatory medications to help with the pain. I know it’s pricey but I really want to keep up with my best friends. ($32/dollars a month)

Celebrating a Lifetime of Horse Love: Margaret Faris and Spud

For Margaret Faris’ 90th birthday, her husband Don found the perfect gift—a sponsorship of Spud, reconnecting Margaret to her lifelong love of horses. A few months later, they visited SCCR to meet her birthday horse, and something magical happened.

“Spud was with his pals, and I said, ‘Hi Spud.’ He just came running over. It was like he’d known me forever,” Margaret recalled.

Margaret’s love for horses started on her family farm in Saskatchewan, where she rode farm horses by age two and had her own horse, Princess, by six. “She wasn’t broken when we got her, but she was pretty gentle with children.” Margaret and Princess grew up together, spending endless days riding and playing. “I’d tell Princess all my problems, and of course she’d listen. Horses react to you as if they can feel what you’re feeling. I just have this connection to horses that kind of steals my soul.”

Margaret even brought a special heirloom to SCCR—her father’s 100+ year-old saddle, ridden hundreds of miles on Princess. “It was just sitting in the kitchen,” she said. “I thought, maybe Kris would like it.”

Kris was moved: “I’m so honored to be given such a keepsake. I’ll get it reflocked with new wool and can’t wait to take it for a test ride!”

Margaret’s story reminds us of the timeless bond between humans and horses—a connection that stays with us forever.

Sometimes the best friendships are built over the fence. 🐴💕 Grooming is how horses show care and trust in each other—it’s their way of saying, ‘You’re my herd.’ Moments like these remind us of the importance of connection, whether human or horse.

Rescue, Rehabilitate, Rehome

Second Chance Cheekye Ranch (SCCR) was established in 2016 by Kris Latham. With the help of a passionate group of animal loving volunteers, SCCR aims to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome horses in need. Over 61,000 horses were needlessly slaughtered in Canada in 2014. We aim to save as many as we can from that fate.
