No flies on me!

First and foremost - massive thanks for all the comments, faves and follows arising from my egg shot - it was a great surprise but it's good to know that we're all equally mad!! I've been away from the computer all day and 365 seems to have run away from me - so I'm trying to catch up as much as I can right now!

I've been hoping for some nice wisteria shots but the town is so hot and crowded that I decided to take Monty on a country walk instead. Normally if we go to the lovely village of Bourn we park at the coffee shop (:0)) but it's closed for Good Friday so we had to venture further into the village. As a result we chose a different footpath which led us into a field with this lovely horse. She was very keen to follow us REALLY closely - in fact it was tricky getting far enough away for a photo. She's quite a hippy chick.

I know the song

Surry with the fringe on top ' but not the horse with the fringe.
No flies on this horse . She must have a funky owner ,

[Bill Dodsworth]

Wonderful walk, cool pic!

[Araminta]

Very bohemian!

[Diana Moss]

Great shot Judith , its a bit scary sometimes when horses get up close !

[Celia Leaberry Gould]

Ha! Brilliant shot. I find it both funny and a little sinister for some reason.

[Pat Knowles]

Isn't this great ! A fashion leader horse .. I just love her get up, so trendy !!

[Loveday Giles]

Equine dreadlocks! My neighbour's horse has some and they always make us giggle, not in front of the wearer though, wouldn't want to embarrass him!!

[Judith Greenwood]

@mole So are they for flies or sun - I wasn't sure!

[Loveday Giles]

@judithg Either or both I would imagine, though I think more likely flies as they really annoy the poor horse when they go for his eyes!

[Judith Greenwood]

@mole It was working well - for a hot day she was fly-free.

[Barbara Paquette]

What a great shot! Never seen anything like this - I can't stand hair in my eyes, but I guess flies would be worse!

[Jen Dee]

Great photo. I have never seen anything like that before. Then again, I am not around a lot of horses.

[Kerri]

Haha! Awesome

[Laurie Higgins]

I've never seen anything like this! Great shot. Now I must go check out that egg...

[Michelle Gaynor]

Haha! That is so funny, a little embarrasing for the horse, such a majestic beast with a 'blue shimmy fringe'!! LOL!

[Janna E.]

Hihi, love her headdress!

[Margaret Tryon]

Excellent fashion statement. I love it.

[robinwarner]

[Juliette Packham]

[Marinade Spatula]

I like your hippy chick in her fashion accessory.

[Remco Greutink]

Looks funny, but it's very effective - we use it, too :) Fot our pony, not for ourselves ;)

[Muse]

What a style! Great capture

[Peggy Sirk]

This looks wonderfully retro. I've never seen an equine accessory like that before. I'm sure she appreciates not having to deal with pesky flies in her face. Great shot. :)
