Snow Ponies


Looking at snow, snow, snow here for the next 48 hours.
And blustery winds.
But mid-30's temperatures....

It always amazes me how well-adapted horses are to the cold.
It's just wet-and-windy that you have to look out for.

I don't generally like to blanket without a good reason.
A horses natural coat is better than any blanket you can buy.
But the combination of wet snow and high-gusting winds sounds like a good reason.
