Horses with snow

2025-01-06 - Fairplay, KY - Photo by Veronica Arnold
Veronica writes, "If you see a horse (or cow) with a blanket of snow on its back.... it's actually a Good Thing. They are insulated against the weather, and it shows that their natural coats are working. If they are wet, with no snow, then their coats aren't shedding water like it should, and shelter should be given. They may choose to not go in, but it should be offered.

Pictured are 2 of my horses, one with a snow blanket, and one that melts it and is all wet."
