How to Gift Wrap a Horse for Christmas

To all of you out there in Horse Nation, with love.

Regular old horse under the tree: boring.

Gift-wrapped horse: amazing.

Here’s a video tutorial on how to gift wrap YOUR horse for Christmas. Hat tip to reader Katrina Zwaaf!

From the video description:

We hope you find this video useful–after all, there seems to be surprisingly little written on the traditional skill of horse-wrapping, and you just never know when it could come in handy.

We found for an average size horse we needed nearly 3 acres of wrapping paper and half a mile of sellotape. Holly and ivy really only added nutritionally to the project, so perhaps it’s best to stick with bells and bows for the decorations. Postage/shipping costs will vary depending on the country you’re in, and the mood of your postman.
