A seasonal montage of images from Canuck Kat (a.k.a. Ponybutler) and Velvet (a.k.a. “Vevet, No!!”)

Our resident Canadian blogger Kat O’Riley sends her homemade holiday regards.

From Kat:

…And all the best to everyone in 2014!!!

About Kat: I’ve heard that fortunate people have one great passion in life; aside from dark chocolate and my husband–not necessarily in that order!–mine has been “everything equine.” Beginning with lessons as a kid, I’ve been lucky enough to break a variety of bones riding a wide selection of breeds, in a number of disciplines–from TB racehorse (clavicle) to eventing Appaloosa (tibia) to endurance Arabian (ribs). It’s also been my privilege to play Ponybutler to my own hooved beasties on a succession of scarily rustic farms, over the past 20 [very] odd years. The dream continues!
