Horses gallop, chasing in the rain

Horses being horses-- young Arabian-Percheron brothers chasing around in a paddock in the May rain. The bay (brown) horse doing the most running is three years old, his black brother is five. They love to play-fight and bite at each other's faces! The third horse is their mother Arabian mare.

@SusanMarie Thank you-- We are lucky to get to watch them a lot out our windows!

Arab-Percheron eh? Must be a nice cross. :)

Looks like they're having a good old time. :)

@equusreined They seem to play most when they are bored, or hungry, or feeling a bit frisky from the weather, as in this case. Rain sometimes gets them going if it isn't too cold! And yes, we've been VERY pleased with perch-Arabs, these boys are full brothers about 16 hands, sturdy but not heavy, wicked easy keepers, and terrific carriage horses!
