Celebration by Anna Rashbrook
From the Horses and Souls series.
This story is about 2 horses that used to be very busy at the farm but things have changed. People no longer calm the children in the town. One day the girls are home from school. Something is going
on as different people show up.
The horses don't understand any of what is happening. They are just so glad that everyone is there for a nice surprise celebration.
December by Linda Shantz
Very short story about Liv she's feeding the horses and its Christmas Eve. She's trying to take care of some of the work others will have to do later.
The mentor, Geni comes in and gives her a gift and I love that she tells you about St. Anne and how she's the patroness of horses. They speak of her future and hopes and dreams.
Excerpt from Good Things Come.

The Horse Who Hated Christmas by Hilary Walker
Like this story because Paula and her friend are able to spend a night n the barn to do some investigations.
the horse is fine except at Christmas. The horse totally hates the holiday and they are able to find out why.

The Toy Maker by J.A.Campbell
Love how this story is tole, so much caring and compassion for everyone.
Nicolas is going to be leaving his location where he's helped out for
many weeks as he was able to sell his wooden toys. He is now on his
way back to his wife that will take days with the snowfall. His mechanical
horse is a mystery to me it needs wood to make steam but the horse itself
acts like a real human horse. He stops along the way for a night in front of the fire
where he was able to transport an old woman to her daughters to meet the new grandchild.
She gives him a bowl that will always have food in it.. He then stays at a house
where he gives their ailing daughter the bowl and they give him a cup that will cure one more person.
When he arrives home an angel is there as he takes his wife for a ride in the sleigh... magical things do happen.
