Abbey in gray and Quince in blue. I'm standing with a bag of hay that they didn't seem particularly interested in.. I thought they might be hungry with all the snow.
They don't seem to mind the snow at all. Is there a particular reason why horses and dogs wear coats these days? I understand when it's a hairless dog but the rest confuses me.
you can't see in this photo but quince has part of her natural coat clipped/shaved... so that she can be worked and not get too hot.. she is sweaty girl at the best of times.. I have abbey in one so she is dry when I want to ride. its not so much the cold that affects them here but the wet.. it is very exposed and windy and wet.. sleety rain and gusting to 50mph right this minute....
A lifetime of kind horsemanship, I think we were doing natural horsemanship before it was ''invented''
I have completed Level One with Quantum Savvy Natural Horsemanship.
I am sad I can no longer access the Parelli learning platform, its just too expensive with too many changes.
I've tried some clicker training with good results , but haven't found any one person to wholly agree with. I guess I'll just need to keep trying to see what works

Thanks for the update, Claire.
Smiles to you there.
