Low Temps-High Spirits! by

I was having a melt down from a lack of picture taking, so we left home, heading for Cascade, (Montana) to see if the eagles were fishing along the Missouri River. Along the way, we spotted this horse near the road. As we got closer to him, he began to perform for us! What a character!

About Donna Ridgway

Enjoying what Montana has to offer, greatly influences my work. Rodeos, horses, mountains, all of this plays a part in what I create. I lived here in Montana, taking care of cattle and horses on the ranch until I retired a few years ago.

I now spend my time recreating in Montana, and creating photos and paintings from what I see here in this state.

    Lovely — I guess he was lonely and appreciated the company.

  • Yes, I think he was lonesome. We had so much watching him! He really performed for us…lol.

    Airs above the ground. All three of my Arabians do this when the weather turns frigid.

  • It’d be so much fun to see them playing! :)
