ponies in the snow

girls at the gate. Abbey, Shuna and Fizz

Abbey and Fizz, I always think that two horse heads make a heart...

They are very beautiful all together in their warm winter coats. Hearts indeed and a lovely soft footprint in the snow.

bonnie, she's not as fuzzy as last year, when it was really really cold and drier, this years so wet she's had a rug on for a few weeks now so thats stopped the 'big hair'... she's growing a nice beard though... lol

When I look at the pictures again even the soft little hoofprint is like a heart pointing up. Did you know the Sufi flying heart is point up with wings arching down?

Susan, somewhere I read that the horses hoof is a heart and c-spring... and natural movement in it is essential to the horses health. when it is nailed onto a metal horseshoe the natural movement is suffocated... the whole hoof is meant to flex, the heart-shaped frog is meant to contract and expand and pump with the heart. if I find that article again I will give you the link.
I see the sufi heart on an internet search, yes its very like a hoof!

I'm so glad you found that reference and also that you look after Abby in such a natural and tender fashion.

I hope the New Year brings many beautiful blessings your way.
