I think this applies to ponies too.

Her dog reminds me of this song,
Looks like it has Araucana in it with that missing tail, bet it throws blue eggs
@1muttsfriend I agree with you 100%!
Unfortunately to the Amish they are transportation with hooves instead of wheels. My father was in the US Calvary. Think Colonel Potter on MASH. I had pictures of him on his horse wearing his military style riding uniform. He was on their equestrian show team and did Roman Style riding. All this was prior to WWII. If he saw the Amish horses standing out in the sun in full harness or saddled without shade the way they are here he'd be ripping the owners new ones. My horses were pampered and spoiled.
Recently the state has been coming down on the Amish Dog Kennel owners. My husband and I were talking one day when we drove by a local farm when it was in the 90s and I commented about the horse I saw tethered outside the barn fully saddled, just standing there in the sun with his eyes closed. Keep in mind, Amish horses for the most part are brown our black although you do see an occasional brightly colored animal thrown into the mix. Their buggy horses are always the same though and I can just imagine how hot those black hides get in the sun. DH asked me why the state wasn't doing something about the Amish horse ownership and the way they were cracking down on the Amish puppy mills and all I could do was shrug. It was a good question.
