Horses struggle through snow as DEEP as their heads

An interesting video has emerged from China of two horses struggling to walk through an area covered with deep snow that almost submerged their whole bodies.

The footage, captured by a local resident in Altay, Xinjiang on Monday, shows the animals slowly making their way through the snow when their owner tried hard to issue orders.

According to news reports, there had been constant heavy snowfall striking the area for the last 14 days, leaving some places with a snow depth of nearly two metres.
