Oh I love him! He looks like he's not only Hearty and Hardy, but Hiding!
Mary MacADNski: There was a lot ob brush along the fence. Hard to get a good shot and it was freezing cold!
Great capture of this beautiful lonesome horse Mary!
Mary MacADNski: He has companions nearby but looks alone here.

Oh yes, and this in the midth of cold winter! He/she doesn't need a cloth to cover the back! A beautiful horse you captured here!
Mary MacADNski: Some horses are left outside like this but I do not like it. I believe horses should be indoors if they want to.
An unusual horse colour scheme Mary. Crossed with a dalmatian dog perhaps?
Mary MacADNski: A common appaloosa with a better personality than a dalmatian:

Looks like he is hiding from you,Mary excellent capture.
Mary MacADNski: The fence line was full of brush.
hope she can get warm
Mary MacADNski: I ache for these horses. They are out in winter.
Pretty good camouflage for the winter!
Mary MacADNski: They are indeed!
A bit nippy outside I would think, good camouflage in winter conditions smile
Mary MacADNski: It was freezing that day.
A very different colouring, this appaloosa. Do they stay our all winter, or are they stabled, even at night?
Mary MacADNski: Most horses get to go indoors in winter but there are the hearty few that are made to live outdoors. This is an outdoor horse.
Never seen a horse with acne before - only kidding a real good looking chappie.
Mary MacADNski: Yes, an outdoor horse.

Appaloosa's also make good endurance horses.
Mary MacADNski: You would know better than I .

Mary MacADNski: I understand they are riding horses of great endurance.
