So, I go out this morning to feed the horses. My little red horse is missing a large (and I mean large) patch of hair down the front of his face. In the water trough, there is a large, and now frozen to death rabbit. Theories?

Maybe it was that rabbit who had it in for that snake. Did you see that video? That was one mean bunny. Perhaps the water trough had strong enough ice on it to hold the rabbit's weight and when the horse came along to get a drink, the rabbit attacked. Hey, if it was the same rabbit, believe me he could have probably completely skinned your horse.

Maybe the rabbit was already frozen on the ground near the trough when the horse found it. The horse tried to revive it but knew that using its hoof for CPR would crush the bunny, so he used his head instead to do compressions, wearing off much of his own hair. After all efforts failed, as a last measure he tossed the rabbit into the drink to try to wake it up. That's my best guess.

Remember when President Carter was attacked by a mad rabbit while he was fishing? Here is a link to that story. http://www.narsil.org/politics/carter/killer_rabbit.html

LOL, you all. Poor Red must have learned his lesson, he's quite the big scarface now. He wasn't very happy about my doctoring attempts either - he's never really liked me messing with his head. I'll try and post a photo later. As for the rabbit, he's learned his last lesson I'm afraid.

Red went to get a drink of water, saw the rabbit, it scared him, he jerked up, scraped his face on something, then stomped the rabbit.

Now, that sounds reasonable to me, Escapee.

When we raised thoroughbreds anyway they could think of they'd injure theirselves. I could tell stories.

Well, I'd expect that from my thoroughbred. But this was my little quarter mix. They are usually so much more sensible!

Seattlemom shared this brilliant video over on the Survivor thread. Its a video of Andreas Helgstrand and his 9 year-old mare, Matinee, at the World Equestrian Games. This horse can dance! Dancing Horse

That was an amazing combination, horse and rider. It's wonderful to see a horse who truly loves what they are doing, as if she was born to do just that; and a trainer and rider who can help her to that goal. Thanks for sharing!

That was kind of like the first time I saw Torvill and Dean skate to Bolero! (except I have no idea what this competition is, but I really don't need to know, it was simply wonderful!)

My brother's mare had her foal last week. I haven't gotten to see him yet but they sent me pictures. I can hardly wait to see him. His barn name is Rowdy cause he is a real character. Here is a couple of pictures: One day old
1 week old
