Don’t leave Eeyore and friends in the cold this winter
Horses can apparently adapt well to cold conditions and have the ability to stay fairly comfortable when the temperatures plunge as they do in the winter months of November, December and January. Many equestrian experts claim the animals get used to the colder weather and a south facing three-sided shelter complete with bedding of straw will suffice. However, as a horse lover wouldn’t you prefer for your horse to be holed up in a nice pad with stable doors and stable windows? Leaving them in a barn with no stable doors and stable windows makes me think of them huddled together, scared and cold. It paints a picture of the nativity to me, complete with Mary and Joseph. The lack of stable frontages feels as though the big bad wolf has been and partly blown it down. When I imagine a nice crisp autumnal walk in the countryside I can see myself in my wellies, all wrapped up against the cold stumbling across a stable with beautiful horses peeping out from their stable frontages.The idea of them in a stable with no stable doors and stable windows to peep cheekily out of seems to leave them slightly isolated in my mind. Without stable doors and stable windows or stable frontages it seems as though you have built a house for mankind without a roof. I suppose what I’m trying to say is I’m no longer thinking about the nativity scene – I suppose that’s more Little Donkey territory anyway – it’s Eeyore from Disney’s Winnie the Pooh that pops into my mind. He never looked very happy in his little shelter and that didn’t have stable doors and stable windows nor a fourth wall. Maybe, when thinking about buying a home for their beloved animal, horse lovers out there should think about the pained look on poor Eeyore’s face as he padded around One Hundred Acre Wood – he never looked particularly happy. Perhaps he was just cold and in need of a better stable!
