have you ever seen a zhorse?

took some time off from course scheduling and being a research assistant to go for a bike ride in cambridge, ny this weekend--and stopped on the side of the road to say hello to a very unique animal--he even let us pet his nose! didn't find the owner of the farm to hear the story--but i can't even imagine the circumstances that would bring a zebra/horse mix all the way to cambridge.

amazing patterns--i've never gotten this close to a straight up zebra!
