Ethan (b. May 2024) has his winter woolies on today! On cold days like today the horses look extra fluffy because their hair is designed to stand up on end to create a layer of insulation between the air and their skin. If you ever see a horse with snow on its back that means they are very warm - their body heat is not escaping their thick coat and causing the snow to melt. Not sure if we’ll see snow here on the Outer Banks this winter but if we do the horses will be well-equipped to handle it. 🧣
