@gingerw Chester is a good boy, and yes, he got a treat for posing. He didn't mind the hat at all. It was held onto his mane with clothes pins. This was right after the farrier trimmed his hooves, and I took him out to graze and the Santa hat was hanging right on his face and he didn't mind that at all.... he just kept eating the grass. He is very expressive and we can read each other.
