Our horses are in full winter coats right now. Nights are down into the 20's in our local mountains, where I board them. Of all our horses, Scout makes the most colorful transition during winter. Her light summer coat is completely covered by brown hair in winter. Look how dark she is! It is always interesting, every winter, to see the horses' winter hair come out. They are frequently exposed to not only snow in our local mountains, but also wind. I see that the mustangs just turn their backs to the wind and huddle together. Since these two were born in Wyoming and spent their first year there, they don't seem to mind our "mild" California mountain winters! Here are some pics of our two mustangs, Scout and Cali. That's My World for Tuesday, December 29, 2009.

Nice woolie horses
Nothing like a winter coat. They look great!
I bet they do love your winters!! Lucky horses.
Thanks for bringing back my horse memories. I remember brushing all those winter coats, even down in the LA area. I invite you to come see my winter up the lake. - Margy
I didn't know that horses grew winter coats, but it certainly makes sense given the cold temperatures where you live. I shared warmer views from MY world today at Sacred Ruminations
Hugs and blessings,
I love it when my horses get their winter coats! I could just cuddle up to them all the time! Scout and Cali are cuties!
They will need the woolies!
