Christmas Chaos at the Barn: The Horse Person's Guide to a Not-So-Peaceful Christmas

Christmas Eve at Hollybank Barn should be peaceful.

The horses are fed. The water is working. The pasture gate is latched. One exhausted horse owner is finally ready to go home for a warm holiday dinner.

Christmas Chaos at the Barn: The Horse Person's Guide to a Not-So-Peaceful Christmas is a funny, warmly illustrated celebration of Christmas with horses and the muddy, expensive, sleep-deprived reality of life at the barn.

Filled with relatable equestrian humor, festive disasters, and affectionate observations about horse ownership, this illustrated gift book includes:

Because every horse person wants the same things for Christmas: full troughs, sound horses, secure fences, dry socks, and five uninterrupted minutes of peace.
