Photo Challenge: The First Days of Spring

What does spring look like in your corner of Horse Nation?

Spring is an elusive season in Horse Nation — but the days are getting longer, the sun is getting brighter and everywhere the horses are shedding! This week we wanted to see what the first few days of spring looked like in Horse Nation. There are a few variations, but it’s definitely starting to look warmer out there.
