First time comment from long-time lurker.
LOVE the pic, but I”m afraid of horses. My 18 year old kitty had to be put to sleep yesterday. Saddest. Thing. Ever. He was amazing.
KT, I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s never easy to let our fur babies go. I’m sending you hugs and warm thoughts, & please know your sweet fella is waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge
I am so, so sorry for the loss of your kitty. After 18 years you must have had an incredible bond. I lost my beautiful kitty on Feb. 6 due to cancer. The grief is so deep. Please know how many people on this site care and are sending loving thoughts your way. Take good care.
Yes they feel like those soft marshmallows that have been rolled in powdered sugar – firm on the outside but meltingly soft underneath – kinda bouncy – oh I miss snorgling horseys!
Love the angle on this pic! Horsey noses are indeed wonderful things, as many others before me have stated.
I used to take care of a very sweet (retired) horse with epilepsy. Sometimes just before Tony had a seizure his lips would start flapping like crazy from his head movements; that was one of his warning signs. Given that Tony had a particularly large set of lips, this could be quite a dramatic sight. Whenever I think of horse lips, I think of Tony.
And just so y’all don’t worry–Tony was euthanized when the seizures became frequent enough to make his life uncomfortable. When I knew him, he only had a few seizures per year, and the rest of the time he was a relaxed and happy boy. He lived into his late twenties, which is not bad for any horse, but especially for one with epilepsy.
I once knew a horse who was 30 years old and blind. The thing is, I had no idea of his condition until two weeks after meeting him. He was wonderful and so happy with life. I miss him.
No not weird! At least, if three people all want to do it it can’t be THAT weird cannit?? I love snorgling horseys….*slopes off to paddock with shifty eyes*
I thought they said not to look a gift horse in the mouth
ka-CHING!!!!
*cannons boom*
*fireworks*
clever
But it says NOTHING about looking up its nose.
Good point. I wonder how he thinks the camera smells.
Through the viewfinder
HAW!
As the elephant said to the naked man, “How do you breathe through that tiny thing?”
That’s what you get for trying to make him drink!!
HAR!
SCHNOZZLE!!
Why are animal noses so CUTE!
Hello, did you require something? Oh, and BEEP!
That is some snozz-u-hance!
Horse leeps are the best. The sound when they flap the lips together, no teefs? Love!
Muzzlepowche Extraordinaire, by a hair!
Horsies have the BEST noses.
ab-so-RUTE-ree!!!!
Agreed. There’s something pleasantly grandpa-ish about them. *contented sigh*
Ooh, I can smell the sweet horsie breffs!!!
mee tooo – warm hay scented horsey bref…hummmm. so soothing.
*SNORT*
Don’t get yer face too close, ’cause that’s just when they sneeze!
Love nuzzling their muzzles, though!

I’m so sorry about your kitty.
Horses are big but they’re not out to hurt you. They respond very well to bribery.
I’m so sorry about your loss. The love you shared will remain in your heart forever. And Ali-baba is right… he is waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge.
Condolences on the loss of your kitty. That cat had some good genes and some great care by his human to make it to eighteen.

Horsies have velvet snozzles… so so soft…
And if they have long whiskers, they tickle! So wunnerful to nuzzle a horsey snozzle!

Love the velvet schnoz and they warm hay breath. Love horses . . .
(pat pat pat)
Looks like that schnoz could produce the mother of all nose goblins!
eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww!
Oh velvety, squishy muzzle pouch…. le sigh…
Funny!!! =)

*sniff* I guess they don’t make anti seizure meds for horses? Poor Tony.
This was about 20 years ago, and at that time there was no horsey epilepsy medication. Things may have changed by now…
Poor Tony
sniff

)
No not weird! At least, if three people all want to do it it can’t be THAT weird cannit?? I love snorgling horseys….*slopes off to paddock with shifty eyes*
Love, love, love the speckledy nose.
