Photo Challenge: 18 Horses In Hats

Because it never gets old. (For the human, anyway.)

This week, our photo challenge was one of the simplest to achieve, and one of the most entertaining: put a hat on your horse, giggle at how cute/silly/undeniably patient he looks, and snap a photo. These riders were game for the challenge, and their horses were good troupers too!
