cold and empathy

If you ever thought you might need help with empathy and showing empathy for other living things; spend some time around horses when you get the first cold spell of the year.  Now horses  are built to be able to handle the hot summer days and the cold winter months.  But getting out in the morning and tossing them hay and dropping some oats for them, you still see the cold all around you and I know I can feel the wind driving through my body.

I can't help but give them more oats and a firm brisk brush (as I know they like both).  You can see it in their eyes that they appreciate the though.  And we all like treats and to horses those oats is good.

Anyway it was cold this morning
