December Hint 
Each quarter we offer a horsemanship
hint, often related to current affairs on people’s minds. December is permeated with the
spirit of giving and has inspired this month’s hint.
Some of us know exactly what we want for Chanukah or Christmas ---
a horse! Others thankfully have a horse, but want a new saddle, bridle,
blanket, riding pants, etc.
But this is a time of giving rather than getting. What do you give a dear family
member who has everything they want?
What does the office give that is meaningful besides doing a tree
ornament exchange? How about
doing something wonderful for people and animals around the world this
year in the name of the office or a special loved one? Perhaps your loved
one is a veteran who would appreciate having something done in his name
to support our troops or their families at this special time of year.
Our December Hint includes
Unique Animal Related Gifts and Means of Supporting our Armed Services.

Bravo Playing in Turnout
We keep waiting for
Bravo to become a grown up horse, but he seems determined to stay a colt
at heart. One of his favorite activities when turned out is playing
with his fluorescent highway cone. He can flip it around while standing
still, walking, trotting, cantering, galloping, and even bucking!

Carol and Spirit enjoy a sunny Arizona morning.
