Peaceful Encounter


Next to staring out at the sea, is there anything more peaceful than watching horses graze?  We stopped to say "Neigh!" to these guys yesterday, during an incredibly enjoyable ride through the countryside.  They immediately trotted over to us for some lovin'.  So friendly, why the muzzles?  Of course I needed to know the answer; and for those as in the dark as I, they are feeding muzzles.  Their purpose is to keep Mr. Ed from consuming too much grassy chow.  But the happy equines can drink as much water as they please. Clever.  Is there a human model?

Palomino or Pinto...it doesn't matter.  "A horse is a horse, of course, of course...."
