Christmas Horses

Here in the UK we don't usually have snow on Christmas day and some horses like that because the breeds of horse that live on mountains and hills have hard habitats to live in, especially in snow. These horses are built for those types of climate. The breeds that are built for those climates include : Icelandic ,Ardennais, Clydesdale, Missouri Foxtrotter and Rocky Mountain horse. Also have a very happy 2013!!!

How I came to love Horses.

My love for horses started when I went to stick stick glue glue. From then onwards I have loved horses so much. Now I still love horses and ride a dark brown pony called Whiskey every Saturday. Even When I'm at school I think about horses and think about a horse and pony of my own. Up until then I'll keep riding.  When I was little I dreamt of Horses on the shore and in the wild.
