Hoarse Horses?

I Wonder…

Here in Western New York, Winter has officially arrived. Our recent ‘Snownado’ left no doubt. Also called the ‘Blizzard of the Century,’ it brought up to 50 inches of snow, 6 foot drifts, canceled flights and a football game, downed power lines and unfortunately brought death.
As people worked outside clearing snow in the bitter cold and howling wind you can bet another ‘season’ is on it’s way: the sneezing, coughing, cold, flu season with runny noses, sore, raw throats and hoarse voices.

At the thought of these afflictions I wondered…..

Do horses get ‘horse’?

There are two horses in the barn where I board who, when separated, continually call out for each other with some force. I wonder if they kept it up long enough would they get hoarse?

Just something to ponder when you’re sitting around waiting for the snow to melt.
