R & R

On a long, hot ride with no water in sight, the horses cool off with bites of snow. 
Daisy luxuriates in snow drifts whenever she gets the chance.
Back at camp, the horses enjoy a roll in the sand. 
Mischief looks like Pigpen from the Peanuts cartoons, with all the dust rolling off of him. 
Ah.  After drying their thick fur and scratching their backs with a roll, Boss and Mischief catch the day's last rays of sun.

  3. Nice, though the lack of snow is eerie. Some big prairie fires hereabouts.

  5. Barely enough snow for Daisy to roll in. Yet that makes it rideable. Gorgeous sunset.

  6. I think Mischief and Boss enjoyed rolling in the sand as much as Daisy enjoys rolling in the snow. The sunset is gorgeous.

  8. I think it is fun to watch horses roll too. Although I don't think it would feel very good myself.

  9. Oh, that we humans could be satisfied so easily!

  10. I am guessing that a roll in the sand is very different from a roll in the hay? Surely, the horses would like either! The sunset is stunning!
