I never in a million years thought I would accessorize.  I used to tease Hoover about his blankets and boots.  Now I tease Magic about his blanket.  The fly mask was supposed to be my limit.

But I have boots!  My front feet have been hurting for a long time.  Today a man I have seen before came and took some odd inside pictures of my front feet.  I’m not completely sure what happened – people always give me something to make me a little sleepy when someone examines me or trims my hooves.  When I woke up I realized that my feet didn’t hurt.  When I looked down, these odd things were on my front feet.

At first I was afraid – I thought my feet had grown some bizarre appendage.  But Magic told me that these are special boots to help my feet, and that humans slipped them on while I was dozing.  I need to pay closer attention!

The great news is that my feet don’t hurt!  I feel like a colt again!  Unbelievable!

Of course now the other horses are teasing me – Thor with boots.  I have matured a lot, and I know the measure of a horse is not whether he wears boots.  Hoover was the best horse ever and he loved his boots.  So I am going to go with this.  I am Thor, and if I am wearing boots, boots must be awesome.  Next thing you know, all the geldings will want them!  Ha!

I am Thor and I am an Equamore horse.
