Vegas.

This is Vegas. She is the coolest girl.

She is a retired search and rescue horse who worked in Alaska. She has seen it all and is a kind, sort of worldly soul.

Mmmm, she is also alpha mare in our collection of equines out here, and has one HECK of a stink face.

Anyone who knows horses knows this wooly mammoth is preparing to bite someone’s face off. And I would normally agree, but unfortunately, in this case, it’s just her face. “Poor mare…born with no ears!”, my dear friend (and Vegas’s actual owner) and I often joke.

She is definitely the only horse in the world that I choose to continue approaching upon observing her pinned ears and flared nostrils. We love her to pieces. 💙
