It is quite likely that Takoda has never been turned out in snow except maybe when he was a baby. He actually looked stunning in his brand new blanket, which we put on him yesterday prior to the snow starting. What do all horses do with a brand new blanket? Roll in mud of course! Most do the same thing right after a grooming if they are turned loose, and Takoda is no exception to that rule. I am looking forward to his weight gain when he actually fills out his blanket and it does not hang off him like a loose tent!
Here are pictures of him in probably his first snow ever. Checked it out thoroughly, then looked back at me as if to say, "Are you SERIOUSLY considering leaving me out in THIS?"
Once I began to walk away he decided to see if snow was good for rolling in. I think this last picture speaks for itself!
