Spread some cheer: volunteer! Contact a local therapeutic riding center or horse rescue site and see if you can donate time to muck stalls, clean tack, groom horses or assist in any other way needed. Not only will it give you a break from the holiday hustle and bustle, but you’ll be doing a good deed. And isn’t that the spirit of the season?
