Here be dragons

One of the horses on the meadow below our house has a cold.

I know nothing about horse colds, so I have no clue whether this is a bad thing or rather the sort of mild nuisance that a cold is to most of us. What I have learned about horse colds is that they SOUND terrifying.
Seriously. When it started sneezing (I ASSUME it was a sneeze), I thought there was a medium-sized dragon, or maybe a Nazgûl, lurking in the raspberry thicket. SNORFLERNORT. SNORT. CHHHHHHH. GIVE US THE RING, HALFLING.

It's not a sound you get used to, either! Maybe I just have an overactive imagination. ^^

I heard them sneeze on occasion, but never with the snot and snorting! O.ó
