Original Art: Snowball Fight

[honorat]

by Honorat

Summary: My very own Seasonal Art! No Photo References. Frosty the Snowman, fuzzy winter horses, and a snowball fight. Riding in the winter can be a bit chilly. I once got stuck in a snowdrift when riding a rather short-legged pony. Again, the universe is twisted where I draw--no particular time or place.

They're actually both in hackamores. *g* I always feel sorry for horses who have winter temperature bits stuck in their mouths, so hackamores, bosal and otherwise for my fantasy winter horses. I remember freezing my fingers so much I couldn't undo my horse's tack when we got home.

Oh, gad! I would *never* put a cold bit in a horse's mouth! *wince*

Hubby and I have had to do a lot of cold-weather riding for ranches or hunting camps, but we and the other guys *always* kept our bits indoors at night, and made sure to keep them warm, or warm them up, before putting them in the poor horses' mouths. Otherwise, that's a good way to teach a horse to become hard to bridle .... :-s

*pets Honorat's cute fuzzy fantasy horses* Nice fellows, I'm glad Honorat loves you and doesn't want you with icky cold metal in your mouths. ;-)
Cheers ~
