A time-honored equestrian tradition!

What is the point of having a horse if you can’t humiliate him in festive wear at Christmastime?

On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to Dillon- seven crunchy cookies, six baby carrots, five favorite riders, four friendly herd mates, three grooming volunteers, two chiro appointments, and one saddle fitting in spring! Dillon is paint who has been loved by the Three Gaits family for many years. His animated trot and rhythmic movement is a favorite of many riders, and his intelligence and reliability make him often the first horse many meet at Three Gaits. Dillon has recently enjoyed some chiropractor and acupuncture appointments in order to continue to keep him happy and comfortable as he ages in the Midwest climate! He absolutely loves these treatments and we will share some pictures soon. ????This Christmas, Dillon would like a saddle fitting and a new saddle that the process may bring. His nice Stubben saddle had served him well for many years but it is looking like it needs to be replaced soon to keep him happy and riders safe and balanced. #3gaits #therapeuticriding #therapyhorse #horsesofinstagram #goriding #christmaslist #stoughtonwi #nonprofit
