Chang Tzu – Horses have hooves to carry them over frost and snow; hair to protect them from wind and cold. They eat grass and drink water, and fling up their heels… Such is the real nature of the horse

Love how the horses play around in the snow – Great Captures:)
Me too ! I could watch them for hours. Guess you don’t get snow right? Have you had any rain yet?
Wow they have fun no matter what time of the year it is huh? Beautiful and soooooo graceful!
They really do. What is surprising is that these are girls. Usually the girls are mellow and just stand around. It’s the boys that act stupid.
lol they are making a point to the boys then 😉
I love horses ❤
Me too Konni!
What a fun day! You really have highlighted their individual personalities 🙂
You know how much I love horses, and animals in general. If you listen, you can hear them speak.
The pictures are wonderful – feel like I’m right in the middle of the entire experience.
Thank you so much ! Can you imagine feeling the snow fly from their hooves?
Yes, and feel and hear the muffled thuds!
It’s snowing like crazy in the northeast!
It was ! Did you go out and shoot today?
What beautiful photographs!!! Lovely
Thank you so much ! Appreciate your visit and hope to see you back soon.
Wonderful post, Emily. The horses really seem to enjoy the snow. 🙂
It certainly didn’t seem to bother them at all. I hated how it kept flying into my face. LOL
I would too. 🙂
Hi,
What absolutely precious and beautiful photos! Loving them!
Sincerely Jody
What a thrill you enjoyed these Jody. Thank you so much for your visit and comment. Hope to see you back soon. Bella
Hi,
It was my pleasure. Feel free to follow me, and I will follow your progress as a writer too. Why not support each other! Keep up the good work.
Sincerely Jody
Oh! Beautiful images!!!
Thank you so much Paige!
How gorgeous!
Appreciate your kind comment Carol. Thank you.
Jealous! Wow, these are fabulous. I love the two coming in and, okay I love them all. You no doubt were smiling taking these pictures. The quote you included at the bottom is perfect as it embodies what we’re looking at in your images. So cool, thank you!
Stay warm! (We’re back to 10 degrees today and 0 tonight!)

I was having so much fun. I kept yelping at them to keep them running. Had to stop them after a while, somehow I think their mothers wouldn’t approve.
It was 6 degrees when I went out and went to a balmy 15 degrees. Wind chill factors below zero. Tomorrow continues quite cold.
I think that the photos are very good, but it’s rather hard for me to judge, as I’m sick of snow. 😉
You know how much I adore you – you always make me laugh so. I can’t even imagine how much snow you’ve been through. Could you believe the bank closed at noon for “associate safety”? It had barely started to snow.
Beautiful photos! Even if I wasn’t such a horse lover, these would be amazing shots!
So it’s a double bonus for you – horses and snow. 🙂 Thank you so much.
gorgeous photographs 🙂
Thank you so much Jo!
The snow makes us all frisky!! 😉
It really does Denise. It also divides the mice from the women. I was the only boarder that made it out to the barn today. Staff was there working hard, so I chipped in and helped a bit.
Love this post, Emily, you always make us feel like we’re right THERE. Wherever “there” is! And ponies in the snow, it just doesn’t get much better for a winter scene… 🙂
You are so very sweet. Something tells me that if you and I went on an adventure, we would have just way too much fun. And you get to be near horses too.
Horses Horses Horses,… I live and BREATHE them and always from afar. With a lot between us, for a whole lotta’ reasons. Still, I am connected to them in ways I never imagined. And I just loved seeing your images of them, dancing and snorting in the snow, it made my day.
great snow day
It really was Dan – did you get out in the snow to shoot?
Sure did.
