'Twas the week before Christmas
And all through the
farm
Not a creature was
stirring
Without an alarm
The red barn
Was adorned in boughs
of holly
Looking so festive
And oh so jolly
All the horses and
ponies were
Tucked in their
stalls
While their riders
were busy
Shopping the malls
Ponies were munching
Quietly on hay
Seemingly enjoying
The holiday
Show horses were
blanketed
All toasty and warm
With dreams of winter
circuit
To arrive before the
snow storm
Back in the feed room
Stockings were hung
The barn mice were gathering
As carols were sung
The barn cat was
snuggled
In the tack room with
care
Waiting for Santa
To soon be there
'Tis the night before
Christmas
And I wish everyone
The merriest of
Christmas’s
And much Holiday fun
