- Set up a small stable or corral in your living room with toy horses.
Organize horse-themed activities for the family:
- Host a horse-themed movie night: Cuddle up with blankets and snacks to watch a classic horse movie like "The Black Stallion" or "National Velvet." Here are some of our favorite horse movies!

- Create horse-themed crafts: Make your own horse-shaped ornaments, decorate horse-shaped cookies, or paint horse-themed pictures.
