Blue And Remy, Christmas Horses

To my surprise, the miniature horses seem more immune to the cold than do the cattle. Remy came out to watch what I was doing on this frigid morning:

And blue moved in to look for any edible waste hay while the cattle ate the new bale I'd brought them:

Remy always comes to greet me when I'm outside in the field. Mostly that is pleasant, but he also likes to steal tools and cause mischief:

And to Remy. Then I turned out the lights:
