At the time this article is posted, there will be 27 days until spring. Even though its less than four weeks away, for those of us dealing with snow and ice, springtime seems like a far-off dream.

One upside of snowy weather is that it does make for some great photos. We asked our Facebook community to share images from winter with horses. Here are a few of our favorites.
