A mother bear and her three cubs broke into a Norwegian cabin this week, reportedly drinking more than 100 beers, eating all the food and even knocking over a wall.

"They had a hell of a party in there," owner Even Borthen Nilsen told The Local. "The entire cabin was destroyed."

Fine looking animal. I prefer them with that intelligent spark in their eye and a bit of spirit.

Lady's Hot Shot? Nice.

Yep, raised, trained and ridden by women. :-)

When my husband retired at 55 due to bad health I sold or gave away all the horses. We had seven. I was worried that with just one salary I wouldn’t be able to keep up the Vet care and I won’t keep an animal I can’t promise I can care for. I gave some of the horses to trusted friends but I advertised Hot Shot to be sold to a woman only. A lady called and asked if she could bring her trainer to look at him. After watching me ride him and watching him show off and do his strut, the one with that little tails stuck straight up in the air, the lady bought him and stabled him at a fancy facility in Chattanooga. I cried, she cried, everybody cried when she came to pick him up, especially when Hot Shot ‘hugged’ me before getting in the trailer. When I put my arms around his neck he would tuck his chin in and pull me up close to his chest in a horse hug.

I had him 15 years and I miss him but it was best for him. Horses and dogs are excellent judges of character and he really liked the lady so I felt good, but sad, about it.

Your horse is breathtakingly beautiful. Do they call that coat pattern “Leopard Appaloosa”?

FTA: There have been a number of recent, unexpected bear appearances. Earlier this week, a black bear walked into the lobby of a New Mexico resort. The incident was captured on the resort's surveillance camera but the bear had backed out the same door before authorities arrived on the scene. And back in April, a family of bears walked onto a Pennsylvania news weather set, rummaging around freely while the meteorologist hid away in a side room, continuing the broadcast. ..

Really! What does a Norwegian cabin invasion have to do with bear invasions in NM and PA? Unless the author is hinting at a worldwide bear conspiracy.

Yes, he is a tri-colored Leopard Appaloosa. His spots are brown and black on a snow white coat. Kids liked to call him the Dalmatian horse. LOL I think one thing that made him exceptional is his small Arabian size and shaped head with slanted eyes. Not all Appaloosa’s have a small pretty head.
