Reader Photo Challenge: Moody Mares (and Geldings)
We’ve all seen the “resting mare face.”
Whether you call it Resting Mare Face, Mare Glare, Passive Aggressive Face, “Obstinate Resting Face” (as one reader described her mule) or something else entirely, we’re all familiar with that look. This week, we wanted to see your mares’ worst “mare glares” – ears pinned and all. Here are 14 examples… and they’re not always mares.

“She gives this passive aggressive face to the farrier even though he is a gentle and calm guy. She gives the same face to the vet and equine dentist. She never does anything, just passively warns.” Photo by Denise Kirby.

“Baby mare glare, an hour later I was flying through the air. I should’ve seen it coming.” Photo by Natalie Leighton.
Keep an eye out for next week’s 24-hour photo challenge! We announce challenge subjects on Monday around the end of the day on both Instagram and Facebook.
