Water skipper and horses

I think this horse has problems with insects as it is always covered up.

Skippers 

There was questions on Wednesdays post. Here is an explanation of what "skippers" are. 
They are quite fun to watch as they "walk" or jump on the water surface.

  1. That looks like a really heavy coat. If it does the job, all well and good.

  3. Så vakre hestebilder, særlig av mor og sønn! Kom nettopp ned fra fjellet, hvor vi hadde utsikt til 11 fine hester på beite.

  6. I would imagine the insects are horrid for some. They have such excellent equipment for animals.

  7. Horses are always such a delight to see and especially good to see them protected. And being a skipper sounds like a fun carefree way to be. :)
