This really shows the White underlay in Velvet's blue roan coat.
When horses get Wet, their top guard hairs shed the rain, while the dense and fine hairs underneath remain dry.
My method of feeding involves forking hay from a large square bale into my old John Deere Wheel Barrow and trundling it into the horse pens. This amount is for Beamer and Url, twice a day.
When I do my chores, the dogs are always Willing to assist, and here is a little White on White with Sammi's freckled paw.
When all the chores are done, the dogs and I bask in the Warmth of a Wood fire, while I sip a glass of Wine.
Have a Wonderful Winter Sunday folks!

Not a bad idea!.....Our hay is in the round, and tractored into round feeders. Once a week!!!!!
well, you know i hate the bitter cold. its -16 with a windchill of almost -30 and the wind is howling outside, and we have a white out. this is the coldest winter i have seen in all my 10 years in calgary. its brutal. its not going away this week. my poor gas bill. sigh.
LOVE IT! Great job and most excellent pics..:-))
p.s. Purple wine?
Great shots!
I believe my favorite is the roan's wet coat.
Stay warm.
Blueberry? Whatever it is, I'm sure it warms the tummy after a cold day of chores.
For inquiring minds, the wine is 2007 Shiraz, McLaren Vale, by Hardy's of Australia, brand name Oomoo. It's very smooth and tasty!
My favourites are the first two...texture is amazing!
The wheelbarrow is definitely my favorite shot, great color in the wine too. Nice job. :)
I love that first shot- how the hair is textured and colored. All good shots- mmmmm, that wine looks good.
Great pictures! I love the ones of the horses' fur. :)
A fun "W" post - great pictures!
Wonderful! :-) Especially enjoyed the shot of the wet guard hairs.
Love the second shot and the wine.
love the wood fire and the glass of wine - I'd come sit by the fire and have some wine sometime! lol
Enjoyed your progression through a W-filled day.
I was out shooting "Wet" horses today, too, for the challenge. Good shots!
what a unique idea for a "W" picture...wet fur! And it made such a beautiful shot too! The patterns and variations in the fur was beautiful!
I love the first one and could use a Warm Wood fire too!
Great pictures, Shirley! You are so good at this. I have got to get my lazy butt back into doing Sunday Stills. :D
I guess I never looked at my red roan's coat quite that way when he gets wet. All I think is "I am going to have to do some heavy duty brushing to get you looking good again. Call me weird and I do not know what others think, but I think the smell of a horse(mainly his coat I guess) whether wet or dry is the best smell in the world. I wish I had a spray with this scent. I would spray a little on my pillow each night to lull me to sleep:)
Loved the horse hair,great post.
Nice pictures, like the second shot with the contrasting hair colors.
Great photos..and is that a beautiful glass of wine or what! :)
