The White Bird horses have been enjoying the sun, the crisp air and the snow. For all their arthritic joints, old injuries, and for some age, they romped in the snow after being in their stalls on Saturday and Sunday.
Star, in particular, showed off and with tail lifted proclaimed his Arabness.
The youngsters, on the other hand, were more interested in getting stuck into the hay, and as we are unlikely to see the grass (much less experience any growth) we are thankful for a good hay crop this past year.
It may not stay quite so pristine but there will be at least some element of a “White Christmas” left by the end of the week. So from the White Bird Appaloosa Horse Rescue to all our family and friends, and readers, a very merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.
