I got a panicked phonecall at 6:30 am. A friend who lives nearby had gone off to work and forgotten to water her horses. She asked me if I would do it for her. I had no problem helping a friend though I am not familiar with and a bit afraid of horses. I was nudged and rubbed by this mare all the time I was filling the water container and was quite nervous. I didn't know if horses bit people, whether this one would, or whether she was trying to tell me something. I got through it unharned and as a bonus got this shot and a couple more.

Maybe she was trying to tell you that you need never be afraid...at least of her! Sweet.
Mary MacADNski: I think that's it. The owner called me that evening and told me that nuzzling is her way of showing affection. Whew! I certainly won't be afraid of her again and have promised to bring her apples. I have a ton of trees.
nice shot
light's a little too harsh for me though
ps i dedicated my blog today to you
thanks for your encouragement
Mary MacADNski: The light was what the light was in the little stall with the morning sun shining in. A was a bit frightened and just backed up a bit to give it a try.
