If you see a winter horse person…
Please fuel with tea / coffee / gin / or a mocktail
Look after this fine specimen.
They are running on:
caffeine
adrenaline
and sheer determination
They are cold.
They are damp in places that should never be damp.
They may smell faintly of hay, wet dog, and regret.
Be gentle.
They have battled mud.
They have wrestled rugs in horizontal rain.
They have questioned all life choices before 7am.
They are not lost.
They are simply trying to reach the portal that takes them to spring.
Until then…
Offer warmth.
Offer snacks.
Do not ask “why don’t you just stable them?”
Or “have you thought about selling?”
This is a seasonal creature.
Handle with kindness.
