Frosty Morgan mare

Angie (short for Angara Tranquility) is normally bay in color, but is frosted at the tips for the season.  She has just had her hooves trimmed and is visiting from nibbling hay to see if I have any horse treats in my pocket.  This is a likely bet, since I usually carry pelleted hemp seed pellets for just such encounters.  Following doing some yielding to touch or signal, she earns a treat.   Angie is a Morgan and so a very "easy keeper"- the hemp (not the hallucinogenic variety) is a healthy treat because it is tasty plus contains no sugar and is packed with omega 3 and 6 oils.  Even Harley the Wonder Dog likes them (maybe just because he sees that the horses like them?).
