Behind the Fence

Francie, with her oddly twisted ears.
 
I've asked around, but I never did manage to find someone who had an idea of why her ears are tilted backwards on the tips.

Linked with RunARound Ranch's Good Fences link up. 
 
A happy 8th birthday today to Pierce!

I'll ask Elizabeth. She spends so much time at the stable with Seamus that maybe she has picked up something about that.

Seamus has a girlfriend now. A mare that is in the same paddock during the day as he is. She groomed him and pulled out his mane! I guess she wanted a new look for him.

Happy Birthday Pierce!

Her ears are unique, but she's still beautiful!

Perhaps she is just a very special girl with very special ears, such a sweet sweet photo of her.

Happy Birthday to Piece! I hope he has a wonderful time today.

Francie is a very particular horse; why should she not have particular ears? She's looking reasonably good from that picture, so that is great news in itself.

Blessings and Bear hugs.

P.S.: I always thought a fence was what you took when people insulted you. Perhaps my grasp of Human language is not as good as I think.

Awwww - sweet boy, 8 years old! Happy Birthday, Pierce!

Regardless to her ears (since I have no clue) Francie is a beautiful horse and wonderful thanks to all of your hard work, Lisa.

Maybe it is just part of how we are all different. But it is so cute! Hey, I got your package yesterday. Thank you so much, it all shipped in perfect shape!! And the best part, there is a cookbook so I can make things with it!

Gail Dixon said...

Hmmm...there must be a good reason. In any case, they're pretty ears and I would have never noticed how they're tilted back.

Happy birthday to sweet Pierce!

Part of her charm!

I haven't been around a lot of horses, but that is strange that the ears tilt back.

It certainly sets her apart from all the others!

Willow said...

She sure is cute ~ I have to say I have never ever seen a horse with ears like that and I've seen a lot of horses !

Willow said...

The Kathiawari breed has odd ears I wonder if she has a distant ancestor in there somewhere??

Coloring Outside the Lines said...

I was thinking maybe a birth defect, or something happened to them when she was young. It certainly makes her unique! She is a lucky horse to have you as a guardian.

Michaele said...

The better to hear you with my dear.

Linda said...

She just wants to be different.

Hope Pierce had a special fun day!

She was probably born with ears like that. Just the way she is. I googled the ear thing. One blog post towards the very end: http://pawsthink.wordpress.com/2011/06/03/indian-head-bobble/

says, "Some Indian breeds of horses have ears that tilt in odd directions, and make them look quite distinguished." Maybe she's part of an Indian breed.

Happy Belated Birthday to Pierce!
