Jingle Bells http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQYa2epnTdo
A one-horse sleigh isa sleigh dragged by one horse. Horses often have their tails "bobbed". This means that the horse's tail is folded up and tied (like an old lady's bun) to make it look shorter and get it out of the way. If you put bells on a horse's bobbed tail, they will ring as the horse moves.
