Love the teasing!
If anyone is having difficulty making an alter, please let me know. I get it. I’m happy to pass Elf messages along to giftees on this thread.
HO HO HO!!! The reindeer, as always, ate way too much on Thanksgiving and are currently working out and eating healthy again. Well, most of them. Some won’t start until tomorrow.
I would describe my sense of humor as; dry, sarsastic, witty, off-beat, quirky, I tend to watch British shows more than Amercian shows.
@ParadoxFarm, my weekend ventures weren’t quite a successful as I’d hoped, so I need some more info. Do have any particular motifs you like (hearts, stars, clovers, etc) with your riding gear? Would you mind sharing pics of your boys (I’m sure they’re very handsome)? If I think of any more questions I will be back. THANKS!
Yay, I have an elf! Sorry, ElfMagic, I replied yesterday with photos, but the post “crashed”. I’ll try again. Thanks for your patience. 
Sorry, this will be a large post! I can’t really think of a motif I use, but not averse to it.
Chico, my 
retiree:
Dante, my jumper-turned dressage horse:
Jazzy (Jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none-but-we-love-him-anyway):
And newest addition, Surge:
Oh, my, that is a lot of handsome at your house! I must admit all of them being bay simplifies some things. Please give them each love boop for me. Off to get the creative juices going (I hope).
Ho ho ho, @McGurk! Your elf is here and has a few questions for you.
Do you have any favorite colors or patterns/motifs?
What is your hand size (just in case for gloves)?
Any food items I should avoid? This elf has access to some southern specialties
Half my shopping done
I think I might buy another
To keep for myself
For the next request
I’ll have to go to the mall
Post-pandemic scaries!
(apologies for stealing your Haiku posting format, hope you don’t mind!)
Ho, ho, ho, yourself, SouthernElf!
I like bright colors/jewel tones but very simple patterns. I am a large, busty person and busy prints tend to make look as if I have been upholstered. Wild print socks are fine!
Size 8 or medium in gloves.
Hmmmmm. There’s hardly any foods I don’t like (see large, busty above.) As far as southern specialties, I only like grits if they’re covered in shrimp, not fond of barbeque (I know, I’m a heathen),okra or pickled anything, don’t care for casseroles that start with opening a can of condensed soup. Other than that, gift away! Mr. McGurk is VERY southern and will happily eat anything I don’t care for.
Yes, it easy with the three bay boys! And thank you for your kind words.
Gloves can be tricky
I do have my favorites
Honed in cold weather.
Your gift was purchased.
I really hope you like it!
I’ll explain in note.
Love working with you.
Love you reply in Haiku!
Gift is in motion
I love it!
Thanks for the update!
I am very excited!
I’ll be mail watching.
Ho Ho Ho!!!
An elf contacted me about inabilities to make an alter. I said “no problem!”
Your Elf wants to know:
Santa’s elves have been busy, busy, busy - and your presents are awaiting shipment from the North Pole!
Your Santa is curious about your ID name because the last I knew, your home state is not Haiti. Santa has lived there but never visited your particular city.
Ho Ho Ho!! This thread would be a great forum for discussion between you two. I am 100% happy to be the official go-between!! That’s my job.
Happy to do this for anyone else having difficulties making an alter.
Ho Ho Ho!!!
Your horses are beautiful! Love that jumping picture!
Elves sending gift now.
Stealing it is not ruled out!
I’ll try to be good.
Ho, ho, ho!
A teaser gift is on its way to you from one of my assistant elves! No worries, a second package will be on its way soon.
Let me know when it arrives!
A “teaser gift” is on its way? From an “assistant elf”?
(I will definitely let you know when it arrives). 
Hi elf!
I lived near Verrettes, Haiti for 19 years at Hopital Albert Schweitzer. In addition to lots of community health and development work, I owned several ponies and did the hoof trimming for another herd.
Thank you for noticing! If you search for my pre- 2016 posts you will encounter some of my adventures!
