That Horsey Smell

A big winter storm is coming our way tomorrow with heavy snowfall and blowing winds  - we're already under a winter storm warning. I doubt I will be able to get to the barn for a couple of days as a result, so I made sure that tonight I got out to see my girl.

She heard my car, greeting me with a soft whicker and coming up to the gate before I could even call to her. (Naturally her BFF, Diablo, came right up, too.)
I gave Abby a couple of candy canes, and she crunched them happily and then nuzzled me, looking for more.
 Oops! I'd come out to the barn straight from work, so I still had my good clothes on. But I really don't mind remnants of hay on my clothing.
Or my hands, either. Abby licked them after she ate that last candy cane, but her nose had some dirt smudges on it that she transferred to them.

There was a sweet aroma that came along with the dirt - hay mingled with horsey goodness.

My hands smelled so good, I waited until I got home to wash them.
