Horse in the Snow

Posted on 2015-01-24 by Andreas Moser

Horses are tough. At least in Lithuania, where they have to live in the snow for half of the year.

      That’s actually true. I liked the toughness of people in Lithuania!

      I felt sorry for the horse, not so much because of the cold, but because it couldn’t eat any grass because everything was frozen.

      My grandparents used to have horses in LT and I never saw them leave a horse outside before it fell down to 0° C or even below.
