"This is my 14-year-old quarter horse mare, Odessa, who does not like to wear fly gear. Her mask is on the ground, out of view. I don't know how she manages to consistently get her legs out of the leg loops, but this is a frequent sight in summer. She does, however, love her winter rug and gets grumpy if it is not on her when she thinks it ought to be."— Cindy Pieropan
