Waitin' On A Horse

After 10 inches of new fallen snow last night, Barney Buggy might be waitin' awhile. I asked a couple of horses if they were going out today and they both said: "Nay." All the Amish horses are feigning some type of injury, so Barney will be not be hooking up with one anytime soon. Perhaps Spring will come some day to the US. One can only hope.

A good choice for the challenge Tick, looks real good. We have a snow emergency here, and there is no going anywhere probably for a few days anyway, and yes I can't forget there is another one on the way, damn it anyway. :( Tigz♥ =^..^=

I think he's gone because you didn't clean the snow from his harness frame (whatever it's called). I used to know that, but it was seventy years ago.
Anyway, you still have a Stand Out Image.

You have learned quite a lot about the day to day life of the Amish from the horses. No wonder they said "Nay" looking at that snow. Good one Tick.

---Spring will come some day to the US. One can only hope---

Owd Fella Tick (OFT), I can understand very well why the Amish horses are feigning some type of injury now. Seems to be not a pleasure to make a ride in these severe weather conditions, but as Bob says, this winter has only a couple of days to go. Have patience my friend (I realize however that it's quite easy for me to say this, as we hadn't any snow up till now in my area).

Good entry for the challenge. When spring has finally arrived you, it's wise to replace it by a colored version, lol.

Regards, Cornelius.

Going to need some snow tires on this ol' buggy TicK. You can't blame the horses for not wanting to come out and play in the snow.

Great entry for the B/W challenge.

I thought the horses would say "Hay" and not "Nay". No snow here as it's not gone down below 6°C (43°F) all winter but we do have winds gusting to 50 mph. Love the simplicity here and the stark contrast.

Judging by the Snow I do not think the Horse is waiting on the Buggy Tick.

We got another 10 to 12 inches last night and today, too. I am tired of snow. What's with the lazy horses these days? They would never make it as mail carriers! Cool shot, Tick.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Funny you got the snow, up here we didn't even get one snowflake, sorry to hear you got it though.

Excellent image for the fun challenge, looks like it's been waiting a while for the horse.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Horses are in short supply, but there does seem to be an abundance of asses out there.
A fine capture, TicK. A good angle and details in the photo.
