Wednesday 25: Vesela Koleda

Koleda is the ancient Slavic winter festival when animals were butchered for the winter and great feasts were held. The Christians may have erased much of the ancient Bulgarian religion the word Koleda holds fast. Bulgarians still to this day say "Vesela Koleda"—literally Happy Feasting/Butchering Time— as their Christmas greetings.

All horses will be Exceptional Producing, Liver Red Roan Splash, with Sooty+ and hom. DP.

Thursday 26: Koledari

Koledari venture into the cold night after Christmas during the Dirty Days. They are only safe to be outside because their magic carols drive away the goblins, vampires and spirits. They bless each home with their song and are repaid in kind with coins, food, and drinks. Take these small blessings and go safely into the new year.

All horses will be homozygous for the Height Regulator Gene and be much shorter than they would otherwise be.

Friday 27: The Dirty Days

The Dirty Days are the 12 days between Christmas and Epiphany. During this dark liminal time vampires, goblins, werewolves and vengeful sprits roam the land. There must be no weddings or memorials, no doing the laundry and no going out after sunset least bad fortunes befall the house. Garlic is worn on your clothing for protection. These are the days when wielders of evil magic are at their most powerful.

All horses will be exceptionally perfect, chimeric cream dun snowflake appaloosas with DP.

Saturday 28: Kutsulan

In Bulgarian folklore, Kutsulan (or Lame Foot), is the name for the most dangerous and bloodthirsty of the wolves. God granted Kutsulan the right to eat man, and he has terrorized people during the Wolf Holidays ever since. During this time, no garments must be made particularly of sheep's wool, scissors must be tied shut to tie shut the jaws of the wolf, and needles packed away as they are like wolves' teeth. Anyone foolish enough to ignore these prohibitions is bound to be devoured.

All horses will be White Spotted Silver Grullo Rabicano with KIT M and Tiger Eye.

Wednesday 1: Kukeri

Kukeri are a beloved Bulgarian tradition dating back hundreds or possibly thousands of years. Practitioners dress in elaborate costumes as stylized spirits, animals, dragons, priests, brides, bears and other caricatures. The most iconic costumes are made of long haired goat hides, and are adored in cowbells. The sounds of hundreds of cowbells ringing together, pounding drums, and the fearsome masks help drive away bad spirits and ensure fertility and health for the year to come.

All horses will be Exceptionally Perfect Sable or Classic Champagne Pearl Dun Sabino Tobiano, with sabino 2 and hom. DP.
