Stop horsing around, Michael. Get this guy near a heater. (We must be on the same page today. I posted an image of a much warmer horsie today.)

Wonderful shot of it's nose. Looks cold, poor thing. When it warms up I can just imagine it lying down in the sunny field and rolling on it's back in oblivion to the world around it and then standing up and looking around to see if anyone noticed it's momentary lapse of regal horse sense:-)

Unique composition and symmetry under very frosty conditions.
Surely the horse knows not to lick a pole?!
