She was very curious about what I was doing, and kept close by, even though I wanted a distance picture.
She presented her muzzle, adorned with ice crystals.
And she took the time to tell Kee-pad to back off.
She has a way of looking at me that often seems to suggest an imperative. The imperative is treats. I broke up a whole two-pound bag of carrots, tossing them across the paddock in pieces, sending the snow ponies off in search of fresh treasure. It took time, and it gave me time.

What an adorable icy muzzle and foretop!
Thank you very much for your comment on my Confidence page. I will read your blog with interest - I hope you find the days with the courage you once had and the sweet smell of horsey breath on the other days that seem more scary.
