Great shot! You were able to capture a great expression in that horses eye. :thumbthanks all... just want to add that these horses come from Canada I think, premerin horses, their urine is used for contrceptive pills.. this little place Crimson Acres has more and more all the time. Little kids go riding there and they have riding camps etc. The horses are all beautifully cared for and although this horse looks sad she is'nt .. she is waiting for her feed.. I wander around with my camera and just love it there... thanks for looking.

thanks all... just want to add that these horses come from Canada I think, premerin horses, their urine is used for contrceptive pills Actually, Premarin is a hormone that is extracted from the urine of pregnant mares. It is most often used to aid in the treatment of symptoms associated with Menopause. There is quite a controversy regarding this subject. While there are synthetic substitutes Premarin is still used. There have been quite a few instances of animal cruelty to these mares.

Since the Mares have to be pregnant to obtain the hormone the foals are often treated as a "by-product" and often sold to slaughter after they are weaned. There are quite a few organizations that try and get these foals adopted out before they are shipped to slaughter. We adopted one 4 years ago.

I also love to listen to the little gems of wisdom they impart to the kids when they are all mucking out, or grooming the horses..just real nice folks..:lust
