Grazing near Gothersley, Staffordshire Seen from Greensforge Lane, many of the fields have been divided into paddocks so that horses can graze and have "their own space". Someone told me that horses can be cantankerous with others they do not know. These two beauties are definitely good friends, enjoying some early warm spring grazing. The Smestow River is behind the trees.
