Did you know that the song “Jingle Bells” was written because of horses? 🐴🎄❄️
In cold climates, horses pulled sleighs over snow-covered roads, as wheeled carriages were impractical. To ensure safety on icy roads, bells were attached to horses’ harnesses to alert others of their approach. The cheerful “jingle” of the bells soon became a symbol of Christmas joy and inspired the beloved song “Jingle Bells” written in the mid-19th century.
In 1857, James Lord Pierpont, a composer from Massachusetts, wrote a lively tune called “One Horse Open Sleigh.” The song was inspired by the joy of winter sleigh rides, the excitement of dashing through the snow, and the cheerful sound of bells ringing. At first, it wasn’t intended as a Christmas song. Pierpont originally wrote it for a Thanksgiving church service in Savannah, Georgia. It has been claimed that it was either meant to be sung by a Sunday school choir or even as a drinking song. Regardless, it quickly gained popularity among people of all ages.
As time passed, “One Horse Open Sleigh” became known as “Jingle Bells” due to its catchy tune and festive spirit. The song’s upbeat melody made it the perfect fit for the holiday season, even though the original lyrics didn’t mention Christmas.
By the 20th century, “Jingle Bells” had become a beloved part of Christmas traditions, spreading joy and cheer wherever it’s sung. Today, the song continues to be a holiday favorite, bringing to mind the warmth, fun, and excitement of winter, with sleigh bells ringing and horses dashing through the snow! ❄️

Did you know horses can actually make you healthier and happier? 🐴❤️🌿
Whether you’re riding, grooming, or just hanging out with them, horses work their magic on your mind and body. Studies show they help lower stress hormones like cortisol while boosting endorphins and serotonin (aka the happy hormones) 😊
Plus, riding improves core strength, balance, and posture, and even just being around horses can give your heart health a boost! 💪🏻
Horses are also amazing at helping us build trust, confidence, and mindfulness- they really get our emotions.
Curious to see how horses can make a difference? We offer horse leasing opportunities where you can ride, bond, and experience the magic of spending time with our incredible horses! 🐎✨

"No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle." - Winston Churchill
We couldn't agree more! There's something special about the time spent with horses, where worries fade and all that exists is freedom, strength, and the open air. Every moment riding brings joy, peace, and a reminder of life's beauties. 🐎✨️

Believe it or not....Rachel and I often show up in the same color scheme! Also, many times, it suits our sponsors' color scheme! So here you go....we love our Voltaire saddle! Shown here is my new chocolate Adelaide dressage saddle and my older Palm Beach jumping saddle. I can't live without that one! It goes on all the wild babies for my security.
