As Christmas fast approaches, we’ve been getting into the holiday spirit with a few of our favorite YouTube flicks. Watch them in good cheer, and enjoy your holidays!
Every year since it was uploaded, this video of a little girl discovering she got a pony for Christmas has brought a tear to our eyes. We’re pretty sure the pony was as lucky as the little girl in this case:
EBay had its own take on the ‘pony for Christmas’ concept, which of course wasn’t quite as touching but turned out to be pretty funny:
The Budweiser Clydesdales are a perennial favorite at SuperBowl time, and they usually make a few choice appearances around the holidays, too. This one isn’t Christmas-specific, but seems like something our ponies would do to us on a white Christmas if they could:
And last but certainly not least, there’s the Channel 3 Shetland Pony from across the pond, whose colleagues donned Christmas sweaters this year:
Merry Christmas to you and your horses from Two Horse Tack!
If you’re like us, you may get a little…preoccupied…around the holidays. The horses need feeding, the hay loft needs stocking, the kitchen floor is a mess. Before you know it, it’s almost the week before Christmas.
Oh. It IS the week before Christmas.
We are able to priority ship custom tack orders in time for Christmas up until 8 a.m. Dec. 21. After that, rush shipping will get your order to you up until 8 a.m. on the 23rd. (In case you, like us, read ‘rush’ as ‘mortgage-the-house,’ most beta bridles, halters, and breastcollars ship rush status for $18 and larger orders with more than one piece are about $36). Currently, we’re offering a free upgrade to rush shipping from now until the 21st to be sure everything gets to you in plenty of time!
For this weekend only, call to place your order over the phone until 11 p.m. EST each day–859-338-4265. We’ll work with you to make sure your stuff gets to the right place at the right time.
Still not sure what to get, or sure you’ll miss the deadline? Gift certificates make the perfect present–the recipient can choose the exact size and color that looks best on their horse, and you don’t have to worry about waiting for the postman.
If you didn’t win either of our last two tack giveaways, there’s still time!
Our current tack giveaway is for a buckle-nose halter.
This style is extremely popular in Europe, but it has just as many advantages on this side of the pond. This type of halter allows you to switch from the halter to the bridle without leaving your horse’s head free, a particular advantage for trail riders.
The buckle nose option is also helpful for grooming if you have the sort of horse who likes to plant his whole head in the mud and gets dirt caked under the halter.
It’s also a great option for the novice horse or rider to give the student confidence in handling the horse on the ground without removing the halter altogether.
Our buckle nose halter has a double-buckle crown piece that allows for maximum customization of fit, a throatlatch strap for easy on and off, optional brass hardware, matching lead, and optional leather breakaway crown. You can also choose the width of your beta halter–between 5/8 and 1 inch.
All you have to do is fill out the online form here to be entered between now and Dec. 31. All participants in the contest will be given a $5 gift card just for entering.
Also, don’t forget that we’re offering a free upgrade to rush shipping for orders placed until the Dec. 21 to ensure they get to you in time for Christmas.
Ever had friends or family ask you want for Christmas and watched their eyes glaze over as you explained exactly what size/style tack your horse wants you to find under the tree?
We’ve got a solution for you.
Our website now has a ‘Wish List’ feature where you can choose all the options and sizes you like and save those preferences for shopping later on, or to give to a friend. Check it out and let us know what you think!
Don’t forget to enter our current tack giveaway contest to win a buckle-nose halter. We’re extending our $5 gift card promotion connected with our giveaway–all entries get a free $5 coupon, win or lose.
Congratulations to Maya B. of Arizona, who won a free two-in-one bitless bridle in our most recent tack giveaway!
Maya is the proud owner of 19-year-old Arabian mare La Negra. When Maya got her, the mare was abused and neglected (think no farrier for three YEARS) and had been used for horse tripping. After two years of hard work, Maya tells us this gorgeous mare is finally back in fantastic shape. She still has a lingering quarter crack in one of her hooves due to years of neglect, but she has learned to trust again. The pair go trail riding across all kinds of terrain, swimming in the lake, and have played with barrels and jumps. La Negra is now relaxed and trusting enough to be a kid’s horse.
Maya chose a bridle with aqua bling, which we think is going to look fabulous on La Negra.
La Negra, in all her glory
We salute you Maya, for making this sweet girl what she is today!
If you entered our tack giveaway but didn’t get drawn for the bridle, have no worries–everyone is a winner! We opted to give everyone who entered a $5 gift card to our shop, which should show up as a coupon in your email inbox this evening. Feel free to share the coupon with friends and family–it’s a gift that keeps on giving! Even better, we’re still doing our ornament giveaway for all orders over $25 while supplies last.
Also, take a look at our next tack giveaway here.
This ornament is also part of our Christmas promotion. Spend $25 at our online store and get an ornament free with your shipment, while supplies last. Start shopping today!
Also, don’t forget about our giveaway of a two-in-one bitless bridle which is going on now.
Our holiday ornament promotion was such a hit on Black Friday that we’ve decided to do it again! Customers placing orders of $25 or more will get a free holiday ornament with their shipment. What could be merrier than that?
For all you last-minute Christmas shoppers out there, we have a fantastic deal: today through Dec. 21, we’re giving our customers a free upgrade to rush shipping to make sure your tack gets to you in time to be under the tree!
Also, if you’re still making your Christmas lists, don’t forget that you have the chance to win a two-in-one bitless bridle in time for holidays. Today, we decided to make that giveaway even better in the spirit of the holiday season–everyone who enters the contest will get a $5 gift card, whether they win the bridle or not. Don’t forget that gift cards are a great present for a horsey person if you’re not sure what size tack their horse needs.
Check back on Wednesday for more Christmas shopping news!
