Thanks to everyone for the comments. I haven't had much time to be on WU lately to respond. Thanks to the Approvers for the blue frame!
I had a feeling someone would misinterpret this photo. The Mennonites (similar beliefs as the Amish) take excellent care of their animals. I am an animal lover and former horse owner. I would recognize an unhealthy horse if I saw it and would not photograph them. I assure you, this horse is in superb "condition" and not underweight! With the hills they travel here, they would be hurting them if they let them get too much weight. As we all know, sometimes photos are deceiving of reality.

I admire the Amish and Mennonite for their resilience and commitment. They take great care of their farms, animals, and are dedicated to each other. They are peaceful people and do not harm others. I wish society would not shun them and maybe learn a few things from them.

Thanks Gil and Kat. No offense taken about the blanket. I should have stated that the couple was only in the store a few minutes, therefore, one couple blanketed their horse and the other did not.

Thanks :)

Thanks so much for the comments! I agree Maxine!

Thanks Dave and Delana!

To Rotty3...shame that people find only something to criticize when they don't even know the circumstances. It is a photograph of one second in time...a brief second captured. Have you ever just looked at your dog and he cowered his head or let his ears drop...did that mean that you beat him??? This horse stood here for a few minutes in dry weather that happened to have a bit of snow and ice on the ground. He dropped his head for a brief minute making him look dejected. I don't even know what to say to people like you any more.
