Mara in faux cashmere

For my birthday last May my mom sent me an incredibly soft scarf. I was wearing it the other day and realized it might look good on Mara. I think I'll have her demo some of my other winter scarves as well. I'm not a typical scarf-wearing European, but I do have a few.









My photographer friend was in the area this week and stopped by. I talked her into walking up to the arena with me and taking some pics of Mara. She sent me one photo so far. I love how her tail has black in the middle. Chestnut tails are so interesting and multi-colored. I hope she sends me some more where you can see how she was gleaming in the sunlight. I just can't believe how shiny a horse can be even in Winter. Greys are exotic, but they simply don't reflect light. My photographer friend will undoubtedly throw away most of those photos due to the background - she doesn't like electric wires and crappy fences in the background. I understand. She also doesn't like the way Mara presents herself, she still trots around inverted.
