Photo Challenge: The Noble Horse… In Candid Moments
He’s beauty and he’s grace… and yet he’s also totally capable of making some incredibly derpy faces. Enjoy this week’s reader-submitted photo challenge of the noble horse in his less-noble moments.
“The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man,” said Winston Churchill. While he probably meant that the beautiful, noble, powerful, graceful appearance of a horse in splendor is an uplifting, comforting, inspiring sight for all of humankind, we’d also like to think he meant that horses caught in a “derp” moment were good for a belly-laugh, and who doesn’t need one of those every now and then? Behold, the derpiest 44 horses of Horse Nation as submitted by our readers for this week’s photo challenge.
