Sometimes horses do the silliest things, which I guess is part of the reason we love them so dearly.
From what I’ve read, all of these animals recovered with minor injuries and no serious harm was done to anything other than their dignity.
So it’s ok to have a chuckle over them now, although I’m sure no one was laughing at the time. Good thing for us (not so much the horse) they stopped the rescue long enough to take a few snapshots.

Horses are friendly creatures and heard animals who seem to actually enjoy the company of others, perhaps regardless of the way they look.

It’s no secret horse lovers have a tendency to be imaginative and to see horses everywhere they look. They are also known for having their head in the clouds – this post is perfect for horse lovers!
These horse-loving photographers managed to capture their daydreaming on film and show us that nature loves horses too. Take a minute, put your feet up, and gaze into the sky, how many horses do you see in the clouds?

We all know the horrible motivational posters often found in doctors office waiting rooms, DMV locations and high school principal offices. They make the cynic in all of us roll it’s eyes, but someone somewhere still makes them.
It’s not a really a new twist, but it’s a clever one. Whoever started the de-motivational poster meme was quite a character. The idea has grown from just changing the originals to creating new posters specifically for de-motivational messages. Here are some horse themed posters that are sure to get a chuckle…even if you have seen them already.

Welcome to the second edition of the costume series, where I have even more strange and fantastic horse costumes to share.
Not only are the costumes great (that one horse mask seems to be a popular item), but some of the photography is great too. As I add each image, the writer in me wonders about the story behind it, I imagine some of the tales would have us all in stitches.
Hopefully the recent Halloween season will offer us more horse costumes photos to giggle over in the future. I’m always on the lookout for funny horse shots so I’ll find them, and when I do I’ll share.

Herd animals by nature, horses need to have buddies or they actually get lonely. Not everyone can afford one horse, much less a second to keep the first one company. So often horse owners have to come up with creative solutions to keep their equine from feeling sad.
I searched high and low to discover some of the different creatures people use as friends for their equine. In the process I found some fantastic images that I just had to share. In fact I found so many, I created several posts, one for each of the popular horse buddies. Today, it’s goats.

There isn’t much cuter than animals with their children. Youngsters often share a special bond with the animals in their life, one that perhaps adults can no longer understand.
Horses seem to have a love of the kids too and some exhibit a great tenderness towards the children in their life.

Zebras are a wild striped cousin to the horse. Their name comes from the Portuguese word zevra which translates to wild ass.
Like horses, zebras can thrive in many habitats and are found in the plains, forests, mountains and on the coast.
Their biggest predator is man, who hunts them for their striped coat and destroys their natural habitat.
The striped patterns are individual to each animal and there are three different types of zebra.
1. Plains zebra
2. Mountain zebra
3. Grevy’s zebra
