Ginger loves "The Dinner Bell Carol". She loves it not only for the hang at the end when the door opens, but also the fun she has listing to the carolers sing it when they come to the the barn for the big holiday. She loves how at the end, when the door opens, she can just imagine what type of people are coming and what fun they will have. Not only that, but this song is funny and comical. It's completely different from the original song and she loves it when someone who hasn't heard of this version listens to it and she always cracks up laughing when she does. There was one time that Gator heard it and the song had come to the line of "Sweep up the glass, we can't be late. Somebody quickly go to the attic. There's extra china packed in a box." and he thought it said "There's extra children packed in a box" and that made her crack up laughing so much! So every time the song is playing and Gator is listening, she always says to him "China! Not Children!".

Ginger is actually a shy mare. She is such a sweetie and once you really get to know her, you can really get the full sweetness of her personality. Ginger has the softest touch and has such a soft and quiet voice. Ginger always have a positive outlook on life and she is a great friend and tolter to have around. She loves to live in the moment and enjoy everything to it's fullest potential, though, nothing is better than being with her best friend, Obie. Ginger loves trail rides, especially during the winter because she loves looking at the untouched forests and fields of snow. When It comes to the holidays, Ginger is all in it in decorating. She loves to decorate her stall and for Christmas, she puts pine-cones, berries, fluffy fur branches and any-type of little string that matches the holiday theme.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━


Ginger's best friend is Obie. Those two have so much fun together, though I think Obie may have rubbed off on Ginger. Ginger has become a bit more witty and she is not as shy. This has caused her to be more friendly to new tolters, instead of being very quiet around them. Ginger is one of those tolters that everyone wants to be around, but she doesn't really want all the attention. She doesn't like when there is a lot of attention on her from several, several people/horses. But one of Gingers most favorite things is to make people happy, and that definitely includes Obie. Together, (Well with Obie's brother as well) they are so bubbly and Ginger will feed off of Obies energy. When ginger feels not very comfortable with all the attention or becomes more her shy self, she always goes to Obie for help. With Obie at her side, coaching her on, Ginger can ALMOST do anything.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━


Ginger loves Christmas. It's not just the snow that she loves too, it's the wonderful smells and decorations that are everywhere. They all just make everything seem magical and cheerful. She loves the holidays, but christmas is her favorite. All the cherry nature of those around her at this time of year brings out her shyness and can sometimes, if your sneaky, find her prancing and dancing around in the snow or to some of her favorite tunes, full of glee by her self in the field. She never lets a frozen day from having a day full of holiday fun with Obie. During Chirstmas, happiness at times can practically radiate off of her. Christmas has some of her favorite memories.(Though, she does have the best of times with Obie) And lets not forget about the music, because Ginger loves listening to music. Some of her favorite songs are Christmas songs, and these are her favorites because they are always so cheerful. Though, a week after Christmas, she tends not to like to listen to Christmas songs other than the dinner bell carol because it is no longer Christmas and it just gets her all excited for next Christmas.

"awww" I yawn as I wake up. In my half sleep I start to says "whaaa, what day...WAIT! It's CHRISTMAS!" I jump awake as I realize today is Christmas day. I look around at the holiday themed barn and smile as I look around my stall at all the little trinkets and decorations for Christmas. I neigh out to Obie "Obie, are you awake?" A few stalls over I here her start to shuffle around in her stall. I then hear a big yawn and a reply "I am now!" I laugh and say to her "Merry Christmas Obie!" She lets out another big yawn and says back "Merry Christmas Ginger! You ready to go help with the sled pulling? I hope we get to be partners this year."
"I hope we do. oh! I'm so excited to see the snow!" I hear a call from May to Jaxon. Obie neighs out to them and says "Oh! Their here! And it looks like their coming to us first!" Yes! That means that we can go play out in the snow once we're done!" As May got me ready and Jaxon got Obie ready we got tons of treats and I got my favorite treat of all pepermints! "mmmm" I say as I munch away at the sweet flavored mints" Before I know it we are ready and being led out into the snow. "Burrr!" I say as I get a blast of the cold air and take in a deep breath as I look at the winter wonderland. "wow!" I wisper "There's so much snow!" As we walk past a pile of snow I stick my nose into it and snort, lifting my head quickly causing snow to be flicked onto Obie. I laugh as she jumps because she wasn't paying attention. "hahaha, I got you!" Obie rolls her eyes and laughs.

As we were getting hooked up to the sled, I hear little kids. I turn my head and look to the left and there, coming around the corner of the barn from the parking lot was the first family that we where going to pull. "oh! Look at the little one! She's so cute!" I saw indicating to the little kid wearing the heavy, fluffy pink coat. She was laughing and when she saw us she said "Look momma! Pretty Horsies!" I snort, laughing, as she runs up to me and pets my neck. I nuzzle her with my nose and give her a wet slobbery kiss, causing her the give out high pitched laughter. "Okay everybody, come on board the sleigh!" May says "Yippy! said the little girl. "ready?" I ask Obie She laughs and says "Yes!". May gives us the signal to start trotting. Sense I know the route like the back of my hoof, I mostly looked at the scenery. "wow! Look at all that untouched snow!" I smile, happy and slightly hyper, ready to be released from the sled to go play in the snow.

As we finish going through part of the forest and return to the barn yard, I see paw prints in the snow. That's weird, none of the dogs are out yet, they are still sleeping in their warm beds. I flick my ears nervously and Obie notices. "Whats wrong Ginger?" "Oh, I saw some paw prints, but I don't remember and of the dogs being out yet." She thinks about it a bit and says "Your right, sense its been colder in the mornings, they usually don't come out of the barn and barn house until a little later in the morning. We should go look once we get all this tack off." The rest of the sled ride went by fast as I was too concerned about the paw prints, what if they were from a mean, stray dog or coyote?

After they finished their turn of pulling people though the snow filled wonderland and were led out to the pasture, Obie wanted to go investigate. "Are you sure about this Obie? What if it was a coyote?" Obie rolls her eyes and says "Don't be such a scardy cat, its probably nothing!" As we where walking I here a yep. "What's that!" I jumped as it sounded just past the fence. "hmmm, that sounded more like a puppy" Said Obie, she went over to the fence and leaned over it, peering into the trees. She let in a sharp breath and said "Look! Over there, under that small tree, it IS a puppy!" I walk closer and look, and there it was, a small puppy shaking in the snow under the tree. It looks over at us and barks, getting up with a little trouble and slightly limping to us. "Aww," I say, melting instantly when I feel its cold body lean again my leg. "Lets get this little puppy to the barn and alert one of the riders" I nudged the puppy with my head getting it to walk.

When we got to the barn, Obie sure did get the attention of a rider. She started neighing and making all types of ruckus. Soon May came from the barn with a halter(looked like Gators halter) in hand. When she saw us with the puppy she dropped the halter and ran the the fence. "Where did this poor little puppy come from?!?" She picked up the puppy and hurried to the house.

~Later That Day~

"Well, that was a really Christmas surprise for us" I say "And a cute one too" We'd been sitting out in the paddock with our warm blankets watching as more snow fell onto the already snow filled ground. I watch as my breath comes out in a big moist cloud "I wonder if the puppy is staying with us, I think he's a cutie" "hahaha, me to. He was so tiny!" We turn our heads as we hear May come out of the house. She calls out and says "Come here Theo!" I look, to try and see who she is calling Theo, and out comes the small puppy all bundled up with a red coat and dog boots. He looked so cute as he bounded down the stairs and raced around the yard. As he was doing his business I told Obie " Well, it looks like he was just out in the cold too long, that's good that he wasn't hurt too badly" I look over as Theo starts to bark excitedly. I see him bounding over to us and I neigh out to him. When he reaches us he jumps around, rolling in the snow and trying to get us to play with him "Well" Obie said "It looks like he really is a Christmas surprise, and a good one too. Looks like we've found a new friend!"

Name: A Dash of Cinnamon / Minnie
Gender: mare
Extras galore!
Favorite Christmas Songs: Christmas Medley - Anthem Lights
Christmas Hymns - Anthem Lights
Christmas is Here - Anthem Lights

Personality: Minnie is a high-spirited girl, she just loves her favorite time of year. Winter and Christmas, generally a quiet girl she can't help but sing along to Christmas carols and humming horsey versions to herself. Adores the smell of fresh baked cinnamon gingerbread cookies that are made this time of year.
Favorite treat: Cinnamon Gingerbread cookies of course! With a bit of gooey caramel and she'll never stop eating them
Ideal Christmas Morning: Ideally Minnie loves to spend her Christmas mornings decorating her stall with lights and baubles, tinsel and candy canes adorning every doorway. With treats and goodies filling up stockings hung on each stall for every horse. After a treat filled morning a good run through the snow to work off some of the sugary goodness from the morning followed by a warm blanket after she's had her run. Then spending time with her humans and giving anyone kisses when they pass under the mistletoe that she's sneakily hung up on her own.


Cute Story:
Minnie snorted as she happily trotted around the indoor arena that everyone was going to share for a special christmas moment with the horses and their people who owned them. She has snuck in some of her favorite decorations, snowflake lights were her human's idea but she added some colorful tinsel and small bits of mistletoe in inconspicious places. She was going to give as many Christmas kisses as she could while she thought to herself 'tis' the season', the first one brought in she waited for more people and horses to show up so she could greet them with excitement. Something about Christmas brought out an extra amount of cheer.
The sound of horses and laughter could be heard, growing louder, Minnie's ears perked up as she turned to watch who was arriving.
A couple of girls who kept their horses, she rarely met them but knew their horses better, Dove and Lucifer were the horses being brought out with them. It was nice that they took a moment to spend with their horses on Christmas Day, Minnie was thinking to herself while she approached them, nickering a welcome to them.
Thirty minutes passed while Minnie's own person finished helping out with something in the barn and re-joining the small group in the arena. Laughing and joking, they were all sharing some bits of christmas snacks that were set out for them, Minnie's whiskers were full of crumbs from the treats she was given by them all. Dove and Lucifer managed to keep themselves cleaner though they enjoyed the treats as much as she did.
An hour passed by with hopeful waiting, so far no one else had shown up and they could only stay in the arena so long before each would have to go back to their separate Christmases with their families. Minnie was becoming a bit sad, she had yet to lead anyone to a secret stash of mistletoe for a friendly horse kiss and she had been dying to get in at least a dozen. It wasn't looking good.
"This party was a great idea but.. a lot of people prefer spending this day with their families. I don't know how much longer I can stay here before I'll miss Christmas dinner with my own family." Minnie's owner, Sarah, said as she gripped her mare's halter. A couple understanding nods, wishes for everyone to have a 'Merry Christmas' and they all decided to head back to the barn, it had grown cold in the arena and the warmth of the barn welcomed everyone.
Someone else was also there, a cute sandy blonde haired boy, who happened to own the shyest horse in the barn, Valentine. Both looked ready to head for the arena. "Oh hey, Mike." Sarah was glad her cheeks were already slightly flushed from the cold, she had a bit of a crush on him, he was pretty cute.
"Merry Christmas, Valentine." Minnie called to Valentine, who happened to be awkwardly shifting his weight back and forth, quiet and a bit embarrassed, he replied with his eyes glancing to her for a moment and then looking to his front hooves. Whisker's still full of eaten treats, snow stuck in her fluffy coat and mane, eyes glowing, the mare quickly pulled away from her owner, knocking her into Mike and firmly planting her horsey lips to Valentine's cheek.
"What?" Valentine's eyes were filled with confusion and more than a small amount of embarrassment, "You're standing right under the mistletoe I put up a week ago. I've been waiting to kiss someone all day." Minnie explained after her couple seconds of pressing her lips to his face.
Valentine's face took a slightly hurt expression. "Oh.. I thought.. oh." Minnie realized she used the wrong words and nuzzle his shoulder gently. "I didn't mean it like it sounded, really. I've wanted to give someone a surprise kiss but I'm glad it was you." Valentine's eyes went from looking down to looking her right in the eyes, green and glowing now too, he replied with a kiss of his own to her muzzle. "You're also standing under the mistletoe as well.."

Mike and Sarah watched their horses with a similar grin on both of their faces. "Hmmm.. well.. At least someone is getting Christmas kisses around here." Mike said matter-of-factly, as he tucked his hands in his pockets for a moment, he looked at Sarah from the corner of his eye before pulling something out of his pocket and halfheartedly hung it over his head. "Any chance for more Mistletoe kisses?" He asked hopefully. Sarah's eyes widened, feeling embarrassed but also impressed at how smooth Mike's execution was, she smirked and kissed him on the cheek. "Merry Christmas, Mike."
"It is now."

Adeline's favorite Poem:
The Onset

Always the same, when on a fated night
At last the gathered snow lets down as white
As may be in dark woods, and with a song
It shall not make again all winter long
Of hissing on the yet uncovered ground,
I almost stumble looking up and round,
As one who overtaken by the end
Gives up his errand, and lets death descend
Upon him where he is, with nothing done
To evil, no important triumph won,
More than if life had never been begun.

Yet all the precedent is on my side:
I know that winter death has never tried
The earth but it has failed: the snow may heap
In long storms an undrifted four feet deep
As measured against maple, birch and oak,
It cannot check the peeper's silver croak;
And I shall see the snow all go down hill
In water of a slender April rill
That flashes tail through last year's withered brake
And dead weeds, like a disappearing snake.
Nothing will be left white but here a birch,
And there a clump of houses with a church.

╔═══════════════════════════╗
Personality:
Adeline is that tolter who gets overly excessive with the holidays and traditions. Granted, she is overly excessive in everything she does, because she is almost OCD about things. How they need to be done just right and with plenty of time to spare, but she just wants to do her best all the time. Adeline is quite compassionate and she loves to help others. She is also very protective and this helps her in her job as a Therapy Horse for children with disabilities. She has never let any of the children she works with fall.
Adeline is quite a smart tolter, and she knows what she wants and how she wants others to see her. She is honest, but not in a rude or blunt way, she always tells the truth in order not to hurt anyone's feelings. Adeline also tends to be very understanding and reliable in that if anyone has a problem with something she did or knows about, she can be trusted to listen to them fully and act rationally afterwards, even if its something that might upset her.

About Her Mate:
Adeline was first inteneded just to be a pasture buddy for Radio, because of her compassionate demeanor. But they did seem to have an instant connection, and have been almost inseperable ever since. Because of Radio's issues with autism, Adeline had been part of his every day routine and is his constant companion during the night. Since Adeline and Radio have been together, Radio has seemed to relax and open up a lot more. He has been more willing to break from his routine as long as Adeline is near him. He has been able to do clinics outside of the ranch along side Adeline and other tolters as well. He is well on his way to becoming a well rounded horse he was always ment to be.

Name; Firefly Princess /// Hotaru [Japanese name meaning, "firefly; lightning bug."]
Gender; Mare
Halter; Premade please ^^
Mate; Ragnarök
Why does this Tolt have a extreme fascination with fireflies? Hotaru was born at dusk in a pasture. It was getting dark and the first stars were coming out. She looked up at her mom and in baby words said she wished she could play wih the stars. Suddenly these little gold lights starts flying about them looking like yellow blinking stars. They were fireflies! Hotaru slowly tried standing and after five tries she was standing and walking on wobbly knees. She nursed and felt stronger. She giggled as the fireflies around her danced. She told her mom she was so happy the stars came to play, but her mom said they were called fireflies. Ever since that day she has loved fireflies. She loves frolicking and racing with them. She adored the little bugs that lit up her world.

Hotaru's Poem for her friends;

Glowing specks dance by watery reflections
Fairy wings illuminate as twilight paints the world
Hotaru dances with her glowing friends

Jeweled colored leaves descend from the trees
While the moon shines full above
Caressing the world below

Glowing specks dance along the world below
Fairy wings illuminate as in the silvery mist of the moon
Hotaru plays with her glowing friends
Till at last their glow goes to sleep.

Hotaru's Favorite Song;

"Drummer Boy" by Katherine K. Davis, Henry Onorati and Harry Simeone


Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.

Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,
On my drum?

Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum,

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum.
