Friday Friday Friday! So glad it is Friday, and equally glad that I have now completed 99% of my christmas shopping and I don’t have to brave the crowds this weekend. Also, I made peppermint bark yesterday, and if you guys want to copycat me, I’m totally OK with that because this stuff is ridiculously delicious. Note: you should go through the trouble of tracking down peppermint oil versus peppermint extract, it’s worth it.

News From Around the Globe:

Congratulations to Leigh Yeh, the winner of our 12 Days of Christmas giveaway from World Equestrian Brands! Leigh, please email [email protected] to claim your prize! [12 Days of Christmas: World Equestrian Brands]

Tis the season to get married! We are delighted to announce that event secretary extraordinaire Mary Coldren and Shirley Carpenter are tying the knot this Saturday at their home in Pennsylvania. Stephen Black, the mayor of West Grove, will perform the ceremony. Mary and Shirley have enjoyed 16 wonderful years together so far, and we wish them all the best for many more in the future. Congratulations!!!

Fabulous working student opportunity at Morningside Eventing, and I can vouch for these guys personally. If you’re interested in working for super upper level eventer Skyeler Icke Voss at an amazing facility, and you enjoy a fun climate, this is something you should think about. Morningside provides housing, room for one horse to board, and lessons in exchange for work. [Morningside Eventing]

Yet another reason never to lease a horse….adorkable actress Zooey Deschanel is now being sued by the owners of the horse that she leased this past year, claiming that she returned him in a deplorable physical shape and he is a “shell” of his former self. Yikes! We think it’s probably not Zooey’s fault…[Horse Nation Investigates]

USEA has a great 12 days of Christmas contest coming up, with prizes from Omega Alpha, Mountain Horse, Ride Alert and Weatherbeeta! The contests start today, so be sure to check out the rules and then go like the USEA on Facebook to participate! [USEA 12 Days of Christmas]

Now that it’s winter, you want to make sure that when your horse sweats, you can keep him warm while he cools off. That’s exactly when the awesome coolers at SmartPak come in. The Thermo Manager Stable Blanket is one of my favorites, because it is just heavy enough to keep them toasty, but also very breathable to wick sweat away. It can also double as a blanket for the barn! [SmartPak Product Of The Day]
