I built a snowman in my horse's pasture (and the silly thing watched me do it!) and he was totally fine until I put the hat on it. The minute the hat went on, he was suddenly absolutely terrified of it! A 2000 lb horse cowering and crying in the corner, completely convinced that a pile of snow was going to eat him.
He eventually realized it wasn't alive and got brave enough to come investigate. He stole the carrot and then proceeded to destroy my snowman.
This is why we can't have nice things, Echo.
This. is. why.
