Winter Wonderland (it's friggin' cold) • The Prodigal Stranger

February is the coldest winter month in Denmark and this week we’re feeling it for sure. I’ve been taking pictures left, right, and centre of the ponies — some of them with the snow of a winter wonderland, some of them without. We do get a lot of snow, but unfortunately, most of it only lasts a few days before melting. Temperature today? Minus five degrees Celsius in the mid-day sun.

Emilie is a beautiful girl in all her hairy winter shaggyness!

Winter really is cold. — Well, at least the hill’s not slippery when it’s frozen.

That horse is a bit of a poseur on the whole.

Whenever we take Emilie out the entire herd turns up in minutes, just to make sure they're not missing out on anything interesting. — Whenever we take Emilie out the entire herd turns up in minutes, just to make sure they’re not missing out on anything interesting.

Sometimes things do happen, such as best friends playing tag!

Or someone taking on the dreaded challenge of the single cavaletti. Those things are dangerous in the wild!

But wherever the road goes, Emilie’s still enough of a teenager to appreciate older and wiser Cassie taking the lead.

Emilie's shape and form has improved so much just in one month of free range grazing. — Emilie’s shape and form has improved so much just in one month of free range grazing.
