Venezuelan Christmas Traditions: The Santa Claus…

In January 2022, several French researchers from the Jacques Monod Institute of the University of Paris made a major discovery. Progress achieved with the support of the laboratory of vertebrate evolution and human origin of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This group of researchers have provided evidence of the first hybrid animal in human history, the Kungas.

For decades an animal called Kunga has been known. Remains of this rare animal were found in the ruins of Umm el-Marra. This was an important Syrian city that belonged to the Mediterranean Levant in ancient times.

It was a region with great commercial importance and at its peak housed more than 5,000 thousand inhabitants. There we found a cemetery where the vestiges of the Kungas were found, an ancient breed of equids that had not been fully identified until now.

Thanks to the combination of DNA sequencing technologies, it was established that this equine is the first hybrid animal in history.

These vestiges belong to a series of 25 kungas by different DNA sequencing methodologies. Due to the great deterioration of the genetic material attributable to the climatic conditions of the area, especially the temperature, it was necessary to innovate to obtain more information.

What is a hybrid animal?

A hybrid animal is the result of a cross between two species with high genetic similarity. But in these cases, their genetic differences are substantial enough for these offspring to be infertile.

It seems that raising hybrid animals makes no sense, but nothing could be further from the truth. In genetic theory appears a concept called “hybrid vigor” or heterosis.

Genetic differences between two individuals of a species allow genome errors to be compensated for with a pair of copies. These copies allow that as long as one is defective the other can substitute its function and beget a complete individual. Thus, the greater the genetic differences between individuals, the greater the genetic resistance and adaptability of the progeny.

This is how, as the differences increase, the chances of genetic adaptability are greater. Thanks to this, hybrid animals inherit the best attributes of their parents in order to enhance the result. However, such are the genetic differences that end up being infertile.

But let’s elaborate a little more on these characteristics.

What are the characteristics of hybrid animals?

Typical characteristics common among hybrid animals are:

• They are the result of the crossing of two animals of different species. These animals must be genetically similar enough to produce offspring, but different enough not to belong to the same species.
• They are infertile: Due to the substantial differences between the genome of their parents, they are unable to father. This generates a problem because two species must be bred to be able to cross them and obtain the desired result.
• Obtain physical and psychic attributes from their parents: Depending on the genetic strength of the genes, the resulting hybrid animal obtains attributes from both its female and male parent.
• They tend to live longer, to be more adaptable to the environment, and to suffer fewer genetic problems and diseases.

Thanks to this, hybrid animals have obtained an important place in human society. Recall that we did an article about mules and hinnies, hybrid animals that are widely used today.

These potentialities make them more valuable and useful than their parents. This is how the Kungas in ancient times were very valuable, but we will talk about that below.

The value of the Kungas in ancient times.

The Kungas are animals that preceded the incursion of the horse into the Eastern world. These are reflected in the archaeological remains of ancient tablets that use cuneiform writing, typical of the Sumerians.

In these tablets are references to the breeding of equine animals. These animals in the references are called Kungas and are indicated to be bred for the following purposes:

• Religious ceremonies
• Diplomatic functions
• War and battle technology

According to archaeological records, Kungas were worth 6 times more than a normal donkey. This indicates the high value of these equids.

Probably, their infertility was one of the attributes that made them scarce and therefore valuable. But there are also the attributes where they acquire the best characteristics of their parents, which made them very special.

But how it was determined that the Kungas were hybrid animals. Here we tell you.

Modern techniques used to unearth the past

In order to obtain sufficient information on the deteriorated genetic material of the 25 skeletons found, different techniques had to be combined:

1. Nuclear DNA sequencing: This DNA is inherited from both the female and male parts, as it is a mixture of both genetic materials. Thanks to this we can value the contribution of both male and female in the progeny. This analysis is performed by sequencing nuclear DNA
2. Mitochondrial DNA sequencing analysis: This DNA is inherited exclusively from females of the species and has fewer pairs. This DNA is found in the cell’s mitochondria, which are the structures that provide energy to the cell. This analysis is performed using the polymerase chain reaction technique -PCR- to mitochondrial DNA. It only allows to analyze and follow the female roots of the species

By combining both techniques and complementing them, it was possible to obtain a genetic profile of the kungas.

Moreover, this information was compared with several genetic profiles of equids from the region whose existence was temporarily compatible.

One of the genetic profiles was that of the remains of some Hemipos. The hemipo is a team known as the Syrian wild ass, a subspecies domesticated by the Sumerians and now extinct. One was an 11,000-year-old hemipo and two others were the last extant hemipos before its extinction.

Thanks to these comparisons it was confirmed that the Kungas were descendants of male hemipos and female asses.

Kungas, the intrinsic value of differences

Due to the age of the vestiges, we confirm that the Kungas are the first hybrid animals in history, so far.

Hence its high value, remember the theory of hybrid vigor. This hybrid vigor makes the genetic differences between the two parents make their offspring stronger and more resistant.

In this way we see that genetics shows us that our differences strengthen us, as long as we know how to accept them. Well-understood differences make us more flexible and adaptable. Conversely, stubbornness and desires for unique races or thoughts castrate our flexibility and lead to failure.

Let us find in our differences our greatest strengths.

Horse-assisted coaching is a form of coaching that uses interaction with horses as a tool to help people. It is an innovative way to use horses to work on interpersonal skills. That is why today we will tell you more about assisted coaching with horses.

The goal of coaching is to develop skills and achieve personal and professional goals. In this case, horses are facilitators and channels to enhance verbal and non-verbal communication.

Many celebrities begin to use this type of coaching and have begun to popularize it. Remember that learning to ride has always been considered an important element in great leaders. A well-kept secret that is now revealed to everyone.

Gustavo Mirabal Castro admires horses. Thanks to them I develop leadership, communication, and confidence skills from a very young age. These skills helped him become the successful financial advisor and entrepreneur we all know.

What and how does horse-assisted coaching work?

Horse-assisted coaching trainers are known as Equine Coach trainers. These trainers believe that interaction with horses can help people improve the following:

• Self
• Confidence
• Communication

Trainers use different activities with horses for that purpose such as:

• Horseback riding
• The manipulation of horses on the ground
• Communication with horses and their relationship

These activities work to challenge people. This can help them identify and work on areas of opportunity. Later, we will deepen this topic indicating the objectives of these activities in horse-assisted coaching.

Horse-assisted coaching is a novel and increasingly popular form of coaching. Horse-assisted coaching is used in a wide variety of fields. Some of the areas in which horse-assisted coaching is being applied are:

• Business coaching
• Personal coaching
• Coaching for young people.

Typical therapeutic activities in horse-assisted coaching

The typical activities of horse-assisted coaching are very diverse. These activities may vary depending on the coach’s focus and goals. Another aspect to consider is the needs and skills of the people involved in coaching.

Some categories of common activities that can be done are:

1. Horseback riding: Horseback riding can be used to improve people’s confidence and decision-making.
2. Working with horses on the ground: This activity may involve manipulating horses in different ways. Some of the ways to work with horses are to walk alongside them or have them walk in circles. This can help people improve their communication and leadership.
3. Games and Playful Activities: Coaches often use games and playful activities to help people relax and have fun while learning. These activities help you learn to relax and manage stress.
4. Discussions and reflections: Trainers can use activities with horses as “triggers.” The result of the activities is used to stimulate discussions and reflections on topics relevant to the person or company.

These are just a few examples of activities that can be included in horse-assisted coaching. Coaches can tailor activities to the needs and goals of the people involved in coaching.

But one of the things that arouse the most curiosity is how a horse can help in the coaching process. Next, we will tell you the importance and role of the horse in the horse-assisted coaching process.

The role of the horse in assisted coaching

In equine-assisted coaching, horses play the role of “co-trainers.” Horses are mainly used for two functions:

• As tools to help people develop skills.
• To achieve personal and professional goals.

You must understand that the horse has attributes that make it ideal for working communication and confidence skills.

On the one hand, horses are social animals. This makes them very sensitive to the emotions and energy of the people around them.

While horses can’t understand our words, they can interpret our body language and intentions. Therefore, horses in coaching activities can be excellent “readers” of non-verbal communication.

This skill can be helpful in helping people identify and work in areas of opportunity. Among the areas they can work on are self-confidence, non-verbal communication, and effective communication.

In addition, horses are very large and powerful animals. This can be intimidating for some people. As a result, working with them can be an effective way to challenge and overcome fears and insecurities.

In summary, the role of horses in horse-assisted coaching is to help people through interaction with horses improve their:

• Self-knowledge
• Confidence
• Communication skills.

Which famous coaches use horse-assisted coaching?

Equine assisted coaching is a relatively new and uncommon form of coaching, so it’s unlikely that there will be many celebrities who use this approach in their work.

However, there are some trainers and experts in horse-assisted coaching who are known in the coaching world and who have contributed to spreading and promoting this approach. Some examples of outstanding trainers and experts in horse-assisted coaching are:

1. Anna Twinney: Anna Twinney is an Equine Coach trainer and founder of the “Reach Out to Horses” school. Twinney is known for her work with horses and people with disabilities and has written several books on horse-assisted coaching. Anna Twinney has given lectures and workshops on this topic around the world. In addition to her work as a horse-assisted coaching coach, Twinney is also an actress and theater producer.
2. Linda Kohanov: Linda Kohanov is an American author and Equine Coach trainer. She is known for her work with horses and people with anxiety disorders and trauma. Kohanov is the author of several books on horse-assisted coaching and has given lectures and workshops on the subject. Kohanov is the founder and director of Epona Equestrian Services, a horse-assisted coaching and equine therapy company.

Without a doubt, horses in coaching will give a lot to talk about in the coming years. These will become an important tool for the betterment of the human being. Horse-assisted coaching will be an important therapeutic and personal growth tool for years to come.

We always hear how important it is to save money. Saving means foresight, stability, and ability to face unforeseen events. Saving is essential to have healthy personal finances. Therefore today we will talk about savings; their importance and we will give you some tricks to save smart, making your savings more effective and enjoyable.

We constantly hear people say they can’t save. The truth is, even people who have low incomes should save. We know that there are people below the poverty line who can’t really do it, and yet these people should try.

This is because the more precarious my situation, the more forecasts I should take. However, this is not easy and therefore today we will tell you the tricks to save despite the circumstances.

What does it mean to save money?

Saving is the action of keeping and accumulating money, which implies that our income is higher than our expenses. The savings allow us to:

• Make large purchases that we cannot make with our immediate income.
• Cover unforeseen expenses such as expenses of illnesses, accidents, among others.
• Have a fund for emergencies or for cases where our income stops (serious illness, dismissal from work, among others).

Saving in order is to set aside part of the money that enters us to make a later expense. We save because:

• The expense we want to make cannot be done at present because we do not have enough money.
• The money is intended for expenses that we have not planned.
• We do not want to depend on our regular income for all expenses.
• We want to create a fund to sustain our expenses while we do not work.

With this in mind let’s discover how we can save if we do not have enough money.

How to save if I don’t have enough money?

To save, our income must be greater than our expenses. If we do not have enough money to save we must evaluate the options we have to act on our income and expenses.

In our income we can increase them by resorting to one of the following alternatives:

• Look for additional income options, such as a second job or piecework.
• Request a salary increase at my workplace.
• Find another job in which the salary is better.

In our expenses we can choose to reduce them, either by completely eliminating some expenses or reducing their frequency. We talked about this topic at length in the video about ant expenses. However, the main tips are:

• Evaluate which are the expendable expenses (vices, luxuries, entertainment and comfort)
• Establish which expenses can be made less frequently or reduce their amount (vices and ant expenses).
• Change our behavior patterns by choosing less onerous alternatives.

The only way to balance our personal finances and manage to save is to analyze our income and expenses. To get our finances back on track you can watch our videos on 7 steps to achieve financial freedom (Video in Spanish to which we can enable the English subtitles automatically translated).

We talk about save smart because there are ways to save in which our savings can lose their value… Find out below.

Are there the wrong ways to save?

If we save in a currency or an instrument that does not maintain the value of our money, we will end up losing part of our savings.

We must choose the means of saving that maintain the value of money. Some people have saved in cryptocurrencies, and to date they have lost part of their savings. Although crypto assets gained a lot of value at the beginning, they were volatile assets and not recommended to save.

Other people have kept their money in savings accounts denominated in currencies that have high levels of devaluation and inflation. This causes money to lose value.

Even more so if the amount we save is equivalent to the loss of the value of the accumulated money we will not be making any savings. We will look at this in more detail later.

The important thing is that saving means saving money and safeguarding its value. That is why sometimes saving involves investing or managing savings instruments such as gold, jewelry, stocks, among others. Next, we will see some tips in this regard.

Tips for save smart

Saving requires that the value of the money we keep is maintained over time. Saving with a currency in constant devaluation or inflation is a mistake that can be made frequently. The solution to this point is to seek to save in a hard currency or look for ways to buy goods that can be tradable and retain their value.

Some people choose to save in a hard currency like the dollar or euros. Other people look for products they can buy to sell and make a profit. This gain can be part of our savings and compensate for devaluation and inflation.

To save we must consider the following points:

• Look for an instrument (currency, commodity or physical or financial product) that is stable and allows above all to preserve the value of money. This point seeks to accumulate value rather than make it grow. At the point of growing the value is made in the investment process which is a step after saving.
• It must be a stable instrument that minimizes risk and therefore we will see that its profitability will be relatively low.
• We must evaluate that the amount we save is always greater than the relative loss of the value of the saved. This is because when savings have accumulated, there may come a time when the amount of money we add to what we save is less than the loss of value due to inflation or devaluation.

Next, we will explain this point better.

Savings and the loss of the value of the accumulated.

The idea of saving is to increase the fund that serves us to face future expenses. With this in mind, we must say that the idea is that savings always grow.

As our savings grow, inflation and devaluation will affect its value. If this loss of value is greater than what we can add period by period, we will have to reconsider our alternatives. Let’s look at the following example based on current US inflation:

• Inflation of 7.7%
• A savings capacity of $ 100 per month. Annually we can add to our savings fund $ 1,200
• Consolidated savings of $16,000

Our consolidated savings will lose value for an equivalent of 1,232 dollars annually due to inflation (7.7%)

Anyone who can only add $100 a month to their $16,000 savings fund can no longer grow their savings, they’re just making up for losses. The next step on your journey to financial freedom will be to invest that money to try to earn more than inflation.

Save Smart, another step towards financial freedom

Save Smart will naturally lead us towards investment. Accumulating money without receiving a return for this money tends to make you lose your purchase value. If we want to ensure our retirement or achieve our financial freedom, we will have to save and when the time comes to preserve its value through investment.

In future videos we will give you some tips to diagnose your personal finances and improve them.

Christmas in Venezuela for Gustavo Mirabal

Series Article #80:

GUSTAVO MIRABAL IN VENEZUELA

Christmas in Venezuela

The holiday season is approaching where Christmas is celebrated in most countries. Of course the unique Christmas in Venezuela has its charm in each of its celebrations. This is a time of reconciliation, of spending it with family, sharing with friends, in order to enjoy the most beautiful time of the year.

On the other hand, there are mixed feelings because it is the end of a year people evaluate the goals that were set for this period. On many occasions they achieve the objectives in others they achieve only some.

Throughout the country Christmas is celebrated, where the enthusiasm and excitement of the people is the order of the day.

Christmas in Venezuela is celebrated as in most countries in the region. The Christmas season is special since family gatherings, “aguinaldos” and “Venezuelan gaitas”, exchange of gifts among others.

The gastronomy is one of the most outstanding with all the delicacies that are prepared for the occasion.

In this installment we will address a little more about Christmas in Venezuela.

History of Christmas in Venezuela

In relation to the history of Christmas in Venezuela is based on the birth of baby Jesus, and all commemorations in the country are based on this fact of great relevance to Venezuelan culture.

The historical narratives that exist of Christmas in Venezuela relate that it is a tradition of Spanish culture, which came to the country as part of all the methods and traditions that were reached in the region in the colonial period.

In general, Christmas in Venezuela was formed as part of the religious orders imposed by the conquerors within the framework of the Christianization of all aboriginal peoples.

In relation to the birth of the Child Jesus, it begins in Europe and through cultural assimilation was assumed as a tradition in Venezuela.

Traditional Christmas holidays in Venezuela

Venezuela is characterized by having a very wide cultural diversity, due to the mixture of Spaniards, Africans, and aborigines. In addition to this, many European immigrants, and later South American immigrants, arrived in Venezuela in search of better living conditions. All these immigrants also brought their own customs that were incorporated into the miscegenation of Christmas in Venezuela.

This element is mentioned a lot, since the customs are taking other nuances and are enriched. Of course, these customs have the touch and the typical Venezuelan essence.

Christmas in Venezuela usually rotates according to religious celebrations. Since in Venezuela the arrival of the birth of the baby Jesus is the main reason for this celebration. The Venezuelan population is essentially Catholic Christian.

Later it is also celebrated on New Year’s Eve, December 31. The New Year’s celebration also has some very unique customs.

This essence is maintained throughout Venezuela…

All these celebrations begin the first days of December and extend for forty days until the celebration of the feast of Candlemas, when the Purification of the Virgin is evoked.

It should be noted that during the first days of January the paraduras of children in the Venezuelan Andes (Táchira, Mérida and Trujillo) are carried out.

This is how Venezuelan Christmas extends to the first days of January. In this way, elements such as the celebration of the 3 wise men, among others, are incorporated.

Start of Christmas in Venezuela

In general, Christmas in Venezuela starts shortly before the start of December. However, because it is a fundamentally religious celebration, its formal beginning is marked by the Christmas Masses.

Christmas Masses are celebrated from December 15 until Mass on December 24 on Christmas Easter.

Throughout the national territory different celebrations are carried out among which we can mention the following:

• “San Benito”, “Los Pastores”, “Las Locainas”, “La Burriquita”, among others.
• The main celebration is Christmas Eve on December 24 and Christmas Day on December 25.
• To close the cycle of the year with a flourish, New Year’s Eve is celebrated on December 31 and the New Year on January 1.
• the Epiphany of the Lord or On January 6 the celebration of the Magi takes place
• In the Venezuelan Andes the traditional “Paraduras del Niño” are held that extend until February 2 where the Day of the Virgin of Candelaria is celebrated.
• In the case of Zulian people, Christmas begins on November 18 with the adoration of the “Virgen de la Chinita”.
• Christmas in Venezuela is celebrated to the sound of Venezuelan Christmas music, composed mainly of the Zulian Gaitas and the aguinaldos.

Christmas Gastronomy in Venezuela

One of the most outstanding aspects of Christmas in Venezuela is the gastronomy. For example, for Christmas dinner is shared with the family where they eat the typical hallacas, ham bread, chicken salad.

It should be noted that the elaboration of the hallacas will vary depending on the region of the country. Since in some areas they add other additional ingredients. Or also the way of cooking is different.

Among the drinks or you may miss the popular cream punch. In addition, desserts such as “dulce de lechosa” or papaya sweet among others are served.

On this website we have a very detailed article about Christmas gastronomy in Venezuela that you can visit to learn more.

For the New Year’s Eve celebration, pig leg, chicken salad and bread are usually served. In addition, in most cases the hallaca returns to be the protagonist of the New Year’s dinner.

Also, a table is served with grapes, tangerines, almonds, black cake among other delicacies

Although the most important thing about these dates is to share in harmony with the family and enjoy good health.

Christmas in Venezuela, a time of joy, food and loved ones

We can see the importance of Christmas in Venezuela, being considered one of the most relevant celebrations for Venezuelan culture.

In Venezuela, Christmas is considered as the season of the year that begins from the first days of December. It is from there when you see the streets and the ornate shopping centers alluding to the occasion.

In addition to the birth of baby Jesus, Venezuelans have a great diversity of festivities during all these dates. So, it is very common to listen to Christmas music like “Venezuelan Gaitas” and “aguinaldos”.

Without a doubt, Christmas is a time of reconciliation, forgiveness, encounters and rethinking the way we perceive our environment.

On the other hand, it is time to consider the real goals for next year.

Halloween is a holiday that began in English-speaking countries and has spread to the rest of the world. The idea of dressing up and enjoying terror, or scaring other people, has become tradition. Everyone can enjoy Halloween, including horses. So today we will tell you what activities you can do on horseback on Halloween, days of ghost riders and without heads.

Typical Halloween activities often include getting scared, decorating, trick-or-treating, and dressing up. If we exclude the scary, they are all activities suitable for a horse. And we emphasize this because horses are especially sensitive beings and a scare can traumatize them … That is why it is better for our horses to scare others and not to scare them. But we’ll talk about this a little later.

One of the things we can do with our horses is to disguise them, either alone, or disguise them to match ourselves.

We can decorate your stable or do something together where the horse is part of the decoration. The horse can become a monster of the underworld or be part of a decoration in the style of the headless rider. Without a doubt a very interesting touch.

We can also choose to go and ask for sweets on the back of our horse, which could be especially original for these dates. We will certainly be the attraction of the day.

Finally, what we decide to do including our horse will always be interesting. However, we must take certain precautions to prevent our horse from being affected by the experience. Next, we will tell you how we can address this situation. Without further ado, let’s get started.

Precautions for horseback riding on Halloween.

As we indicated in the introduction, horses are sensitive animals. We must take this into account to use them as part of our participation in Halloween. Choose a horse that is familiar with people and that is very docile and calm. We must avoid scares that will traumatize the horse.

With this we should be aware that children who approach should be warned not to scare the horse. It would be convenient for the horse to be put in contact with decorative elements and Halloween style and even with costumes. This would make it possible to desensitize the horse to the stimuli of the festivities of Halloween.

Finally, it would be advisable to keep a safe distance from people and children. As long as we see that our horse remains calm we can relax. We will also be counting on a choice of a docile horse to be more flexible.

In addition, the more terrifying the disguise of our horse it may be easier to keep the curious at a safe distance. This is a plus to participate in Halloween with our horse.

Taking precautions to go horseback riding on Halloween is essential. In this way, we will be protecting our horse and the people who enjoy the celebrations.

And now we ask ourselves, how to make this effort worthwhile. Well, then we will see the many activities that we can enjoy riding a horse on Halloween. Our horse will be an integral part of these activities and we will enjoy them together.

Thanks to this our horse will not stay aside while we enjoy Halloween. Even our horse will help us find a new way to enjoy these holidays. Let’s find out.

Costumes for our horse

Halloween is fundamentally a day dedicated to the dead, witches and terror. However, many people choose to wear less terrifying and more pleasant costumes, as if they were carnivals.

The celebration of Halloween, as well as carnival, is an opportunity to enjoy and unleash our creativity. Next, we will see some more or less pleasant costume options. In addition, we will give you some terrifying options for horror lovers.

Without more to add, let’s start with the most interesting options of costumes suitable for everyone.

Costumes for all ages and tastes

Dog costume: If our horse is white, you can paint some spots and put a dog collar … It will be the biggest Dalmatian we’ve ever seen.

Unicorn costume: This costume can be as simple as putting a horn on the horse, as if we want to put some colored lines to resemble a rainbow in the fur

Pegasus: A very original costume that can help us stand out. Looking for beautiful wings we can turn our horse into one of the important representatives of Greek mythology, the pegasus.

Zebra costume: If our horse is white, we can paint some lines, or if it is colored, we could paint it with a white base and then draw the stripes. The truth is that it is an ideal costume for white horses, and not so much for the others.

Dragon Horse: This is a costume that requires a very elaborate drawing. We must choose a base color for our dragon that could be green, red or black. Then with some other color we would draw the scales. It is recommended some additional detail to highlight the skewers of the dragons.

Next, we will tell you about the most terrifying costumes.

Horseback on Halloween to terrorize everyone.

Skeleton Horse: This costume is ideal for black horses. To these we can paint on the sides the figure of the bones of the horse. This way it will give a very good impression in the dark.

Zombie Horse: We can draw or make up on the head, tail and sides some “wounds” as torn skin. This will allow us to give the impression that our horse is rotting. It’s a good idea to dress up to match our horse, that is, as a zombie.

Ghost Horse Costume: By placing large sheets we can have our own ghost horse. We must be careful when placing it so as not to affect the vision of the horse and so that it will not get tangled when walking or running. It is suggested that the sheets do not touch the floor when the horse walks.

The headless horseman’s horse: This is necessarily a costume for two. In this case we should try to give some demonic touches to our horses. We can use horn or some detail that makes it look terrifying. But this disguise requires us to disguise ourselves as a headless horseman. For this we must wear a long suit whose neck we can put on our head, resembling that we are decapitated. It’s a costume that will create a lot of impact. We must be careful to have good visibility inside the suit to avoid accidents.

The horse of death: This costume is like the previous one. The burden of the costume is at our expense and some details for our horse. Disguising ourselves as death and riding the horse may be enough. But without a doubt a terrifying decoration for our horse will be the perfect complement.

Decorations for your block

Decorating Halloween is always a pleasure. You can enjoy making terrifying decorations. What we must avoid is trying to turn the stable or the stable of our horse into a house of scares. Children’s cries can cause disturbances in horses and traumatize them.

Some of the suggested decorations include webs of spiders, insects, spiders, bats and other typical Halloween things. We can also choose to use ghosts, vampires, or skeletons to decorate the corridors of the horse stable.

In addition, if we use our horses with their costumes, it can be an experience to share with our visitors. Without a doubt an unforgettable experience.

We can also take a tour leaving sweets for our visitors, large and small, and who can enjoy the decoration and costumes of the horses.

You must avoid using loud sounds. We recommend placing at the entrance some instructions on the behavior to keep during the stay in the block. In this way people will know how to enjoy the decoration without disturbing the horses unnecessarily.

If we are going to take pictures, try to avoid strong flashes that can disturb the horses. We must always preserve the tranquility of the horses so that it is an enjoyment for all humans, animals, monsters and ghosts.

Tell us on social networks what theme would you like to decorate your block on Halloween? How would you disguise your horse? We read you on our social networks.

Trick or treat on horseback on Halloween.

Complementing the theme of decoration, a well-decorated block is the perfect place to maintain the tradition of the trick or treat. Sweets can be both for humans or for children and adults. It’s an opportunity to connect with your community and even for our neighbors’ horses to befriend each other.

There could be a horse candy contest and a horse costume contest. Anything you can take advantage of to involve your horse will be welcomed by him.

In addition, you can take the opportunity to pamper your horse with some sweets for horses. It is a great opportunity to put into practice the recipes of sweets for horses.

Can we take our horse to get candy on horseback on Halloween? Of course, we do, that’s why we disguise our horse. What we must be attentive to that our neighbors are aware of the care with our horse, and we be aware of not damaging the lawn of our neighbors. We must know which of them have sweets suitable for our horse or failing to prepare sweets for it.

We must not forget that the horse is not just another Halloween decoration, but we must make them part of the enjoyment of the date. In this way, next year our horse will be our best ally in the search for the trick or treat.

Some interesting activities on horseback on Halloween.

There are people who prepare walks through dark forests on horseback on Halloween, to transmit the fear of the season. Also, these walks can be nocturnal to give it a style of the “curse of the Blair witch”.

With this we can take some good scares or at least the tension necessary to celebrate Halloween.

Some walks go further by making the journey on horseback to spend a night camping. One night in the middle of the forest on Halloween night with our horse. Very tender and creepy at the same time. Only the horror stories in the middle of the night are missing to have the perfect cocktail for a night of terror.

But yes, we cannot forget the Halloween decoration for camping and the sweets to exchange. These sweets will serve us as we huddle in the tent scared to spend the night awake when listening to the sounds of the forest… Quite a Halloween experience.

Can I enjoy the company of my horse on Halloween?

Definitely yes… Our horse can be a great companion and comfort us when we are too scared. Whether you want a night of costumes, a trick-or-treat a night of scares in the middle of the forest, your horse will be your best company.
