The video I posted yesterday was just a little display of the snow with some scenes from our barn and pasture. Yesterday, Mikki and I brought cameras with us up to the barn to see how our horses reacted to the white stuff. After being cooped up all day the day before (we didn’t want them wet and cold), our horses were ready to leave the barn. I’m so glad we had cameras because Cash and Valentine in particular really seemed to enjoy the snow.
This video is also high definition and runs about 4 minutes. In it you’ll see just how dirty Cash looks against the pure white snow. Turns out his patches aren’t white, they’re tan! You’ll see Cash roll several times including once right in front of us. He romps and throws his head around. I loved seeing his beautiful long mane flowing and his “horn” snorts are pretty cute. Maybe we should have called him “Horatio”. That’s a common sound with him. At the end of the video I added a few slow motion sequences of him prancing around. Valentine got into the rolling and romping, too but he’s hard to see. The white of the snow blew out the exposure on the camera so much of Valentine’s fur detail is lost unless he’s right in front of the camera. Moonshine makes her authority known a few times and Romeo mostly stands around and eats.
Once again, you can view this video full size and I recommend it.
Didn’t that look fun!?
THAT was AWESOME!!!
You just made a bed-bound horse-lovin’ cowgirl so happy!
Moonshine reminds me of my old spinster mare, Baby Doll. Food reigns supreme over cavorting in the snow with a couple of wired-up geldings. lol!
Cash and Valentine totally cracked me up. Those slow-motion pics were STUNNING!
I hope you don’t mind if I link this post on my blog. I would love for other horse loveing bloggers to get a smile from your beautifully done video, too.
Thanks!

I saw the link on Laughing Orca Ranch and followed it here. Great video! Don’t you just love how they have fun rolling in the snow? Ah, but they get so dirty, don’t they?
what great rolls and romps! I love how he swings his head around like a wild horse, glad you included that slow down. Yoga Master at work…
That’s a fun video. They sure love to frolic in the snow. In reference to earlier posts regarding hay on the ground and amount of piles per herd: when watching the video it looks like the piles could be spaced quite a bit further apart, based on the number of times horses approach a pile and another horse at a different pile pins its ears or snakes its neck. Just a thought….
well, living in Quebec, this is a dusting to me. I guess it’s fun when it’s once in a while like in TN, but day after day, is another story
