Choose a horse advent calendar to open in the build up to Christmas this year

Christmas is a magical time, and one way many people love to enjoy the festive celebrations is to have a horse advent calendar to open. Opening a door each day in the run up to the 25th December builds excitement and joy — for horse lovers of all ages! From toys to clothes and other small treats, you can spread some festive joy to a friend or family member this season with a fantastic horse advent calendar.

But it’s not just horse lovers who can take part in the festivities — your horse or pony can too! Many brands bring out advent calendars featuring treats your horse is sure to love behind each window. You can make sure your horse feels appreciated each day in the run up to Christmas — the only struggle will be making sure they don’t try to eat them all at once…
