Even when the sky is gray, horses find something to be excited about - the sound of the neighbor's tractor, or a new herd of cows in the next pasture.
They frolick and play, kick up their heels and snort a bit. 
Warmed by the exercise, they return to pawing the snow to reach the grass beneath. They have plenty of hay, but their instinct to forage is strong.
I just love how horses can enjoy and make the most of their day.
ReplyDeleteHee hee, I spot the Arab tail. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't think of the last time I saw a gray horse that was that white!!
great photos ....looks so cold...
ReplyDeleteI have read-heard, that even though horses and cattle have enough hay to eat - they love the dried grass because it has other things that helps them break down the hay they eat.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a fun post, Janie! Does remind me of our horses in Montana in the winter. And I have to admit that your gray skies are a lot grayer than mine and I'm going to have to watch the "winter whine"! Love your photos. Give Daisy and Mischief and Boss a big hug! And have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteLove that first shot Janie, where all the horses look like they are in sync! :) I must say, it does look quite gray there. But spring is right around the corner, I'm sure of it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot. I have not seen the horses in the snow before.
ReplyDeleteHi Janie, Those horses are just trying to keep warm!!!! If I had to stay in the snow, I'd be running around and snorting --just trying to stay warm too.... ha

The horses lift and colour an otherwise grey scene - beautiful to behold :-)
ReplyDeleteEverytime I see your horses my heart skips a beat. I would love to have one, but I know we can't afford it and I don't know what I am doing..ahh, but to rub my face on that neck and breathe deeply.
ReplyDeleteThey look like they are having such a good time in the snow.
Is there anything more fun for an equine than a good gallop? Looking lovely in their snow coats!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful... whenever I look at pictures here.... I feel like a am looking through a window to another world.
