SECRET SANTA!!! - Let the thanks begin!!!

[QUOTE=Snicklefritz Elf;7849290]
Have no fear your elf is here! Although that is probably the best rhyming you will get out of this particular elf. So let me apologize in advance for the lack of eloquent or even cheesy poetry.

I am curious though, does your pony have a name? A breed? A color? A favorite treat?

Do you have a favorite treat? Anything that you have been ogling in the tack store but just can’t justify buying for yourself?

I do love this time of year and am excited to shop for you!

Your elf :D[/QUOTE]

Nice to hear from you Elf!

My pony is a chestnut TB gelding who loves to gallop, jump, and show off in the dressage ring. He loves anything with peppermint in it. He is nice enough though to let me have all the chocolate in the candy dish in the tack room at our barn.

He likes the ladies and has a lot of girlfriends at the barn. To get their attention he thinks he needs some bling for the ring, but I’m not really sure what would look good on him. He is also wondering what sorts of cool things we can do indoors this winter, we have 101 dressage exericses, 101 jump exercises, but he says he likes circus tricks too, but doesn’t know what else he should learn. So far he knows standard stuff like bowing, picking up his feet, playing fetch, playing soccer, stuff like that. He watched an old video about a horse in Hollywood who is smart and knows 500 words. He is jealous and thinks he is smarter than them but isn’t sure hwo to prove it since right now he knows maybe 60 words. Maybe with the help of our Elf we can figure something out. lol.

Oooh a SouthernElf! Is it warm where you are?

Hmmm… anything specific? Honestly most of what I’m needing is generally outside of the present budget and I think I most of that in the email description :stuck_out_tongue: I ripped my pair of summer gloves longing him the other day though :frowning: I generally wear SSG size sevens (small hands and small fingers) for the leather which stretches nicely.

Beyond horse stuff? I love video games and science fiction/fantasy. I also love to crochet. I love those pop vinyl figurines. Doctor Who, How to Train Your Dragon, Firefly… those sorts of shows/movies. Honestly I’m not sure as I’m in “No spending on yourself” mode as I’m saving up for an apartment (finally moving out at 27! :stuck_out_tongue: ) so I don’t even think about it!

I can’t wait to see what you come up with though :)[/QUOTE]

One more question, before I complete my shopping.
Are you into horsey decor? You must want to make your new apartment feel like a home! :smiley:

Hello again, SecretElf! Barn colors I usually do some combo of navy, hunter green, tan and burgundy. For clothes or anything I’m like that I’m pretty easy - any blues, greens, reds, black or white, just no yellow. I normally wear somewhere around an 8 in shoes (7.5 in Ariat).

How do I create an alter? Dumb question I know

Wirewieners asked: "How do I create an alter? Dumb question I know "

I had to ask the same question! You go to one of the free e-mail sites like g-mail (google) or yahoo mail and make a new e-mail first. Then back to COTH Forums, sign out of your regular account and then register a new account, using your new e-mail for your new account.

Cheektwocheek! Your elf checking in!

Anything in particular you need? Do you have any pets besides your foal?
Speaking of the baby, what does he look like? What will you eventually do with him?
I noted your food allergies, but what are some foods you really love? Are you fond of wine, beer, none of the above?

Excuse me, cuse…

But a box is about to depart for your door! I do hope it brings a little color while not giving your instructor the vapors! Provided s/he doesn’t peep in your grooming box, that is. Why stop at one shocking color, after all? And you can have a little fun while keeping your feet warm, too.

All very useful information!

How about equine treats? Is he allowed to have any? Do you have any colors that you like to use on him?

It looks like I might have a quiet elf… Hope they read this thread, my circumstances gave changed since I signed up and I am no longer horseless!

GreyHunterHorse!

I have an elf! So exciting! Larger pics of the girl are sent!

He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

Reeeeefy, Santa also knows if you open your gifts early … Just sayin’ …

I have a super stealthy elf!! My first gift arrived at my door and I accidentally opened it because I couldn’t remember what I ordered from Amazon. Sorry elf. I will try to not open any more. I love my book!!!

I also have a stealth elf.

Dear elf - if you have anything shipped from amazon, please let me know to look out for it? My housemates get tons of amazon packages (particularly now since they are gearing up for the holidays for kiddo) and so often they go off with anything in an amazon box without checking the label. :slight_smile: (I’d probably get it back, of course, but it’s likely to be opened n stuff before they notice it wasn’t something they ordered.)

Lovely and loopy
and somewhat droopy
Both shiny and dull
go ponder and mull
what joy does await
surprise is your fate.
Your present will be done
and ship under a few suns.

A was notified of a possible delay on the customization so it might arrive a week late (sorry) I will send the remainder of your parcels to arrive in time.

your personal elf,
elfetta
