Mira went to catch her horse Misty to take her for a ride. Before she put the saddle on, she brushed her hair and noticed that there was a lot of hair coming off. We thought about this and decided that winter must be leaving us, and spring is on it's way! Misty is getting rid of her winter coat because it is not as cold. She gets rid of her hair by shedding it, or letting it fall out, and will grow a new coat for the summer. This happens every spring! Don't worry she won't be bald because her new hair is growing at the same time her old hair is falling out!
Misty looks like a very sweet, kind horse. I bet she appreciated getting her hair brushed! Will her hair change color at all in the sunshine? Does Misty like the winter? Where does she sleep at night?
ReplyDeleteHi Mira, thank you for sharing this observation! It's so nice to see a picture of you and Misty together, as I've heard so much about her from you and Sadie. I've noticed that my cat, Koa is also shedding a lot, and even the deer who visit my yard are leaving their fur in big piles all around, also getting ready for spring. Do you think that Misty has a favorite season? What's yours?
