SANTA SEEN SLIPPING INTO STABLE

 Dec. 24, 2024 – The Holiday Times has just received a copy of footage obtained from Frenchtown Riding Club’s security cameras that appear to show Santa removing horses from one of their barns earlier this evening. Although our calls to the North Pole have gone unanswered, we did manage to confirm this story with Shelby Hodosh, Manager of Lessons and Training for Frenchtown Riding Club.

        “Yes,” Ms. Hodosh confirmed, “Seven of our school horses and one of our boarders’ horses were removed from the barn. We’d already given everyone dinner and tucked them in for the night, when Dan [Dan Blair is Frenchtown Riding Club’s Facilities Manager] saw something on the security camera, so we checked both barns. Of course, we had offered them to Santa for his trip tonight, we just weren’t sure if he’d decided to use them. In hindsight, I’m glad we left their blankets hung next to the Christmas stockings on their stalls.”

        So, who’s  pulling  Santa’s  sleigh tonight? According

to Frenchtown  Riding Club, that would be Maverick, Jack

Frost, Peanut, Ike, Fergus, Smartie, Odie and Meatball.

        Meatball belongs to Frenchtown  Riding  Club member

Tracy Bubalis of  Flemington, NJ, who, in a previous

interview,  told  The  Holiday  Times   that   she  would  be

“honored”  to  lend  her  mare to  Santa. We were unable to

reach Ms. Bubalis for further  comment on this recent

development.
