Blue and Remy

Remy and Blue seem especially drawn to the hay left on the ground after I move the bale feeder:

But they also avail themselves of the hay in the feeder. I've watched carefully and have not seen any cows bully them:

In fact, they seem to be as much a part of the herd as any cow. They fit right in:

But both little horses can go into the barn whenever they please:

Remy is still the sweetest animal in the herd, and gets a lot of hugs and kisses:

The little horses collect frost just like the cows do. That's frost on Remy's back and muzzle in this photo:

And sometimes he comes inside to rest and, presumably, get out of the wind (the temperature is not much warmer in the barn):

When we had a freezing drizzle, I found Blue all covered in threads of ice and a bit of loose hay:

Remy was plenty frosty too:

But they didn't seem to mind. Their attention was focused on the new hay bale I was bringing them:

As usual, though, they went for the old hay first, perhaps because the new bale is surrounded in frozen, moldy hay and the horses know to let the cows "unwrap" the bale before the good hay is available:

All is peaceful and calm on the east side of the barn:
