Absorbine Photo Challenge: 15 Equestricats

There’s an untapped market for feline riding helmets.

For this week’s Absorbine photo challenge, we called for photos of your barn cats hitching a ride on your horses. Who knew there were so many talented felines in Horse Nation? Here are 15 … and a bonus equestribird.
