Yay! No Rug! Thanks mum!

[cazrider]

Lovely day, yesterday.:) Lots of sunshine and quite warm, so I decided to turn Sennie out without a rug on.:)

I turned out a smart bay section d, and this is what I got back.....

Who me?

A MUD MONSTER...:eek: :eek:

[Portia]

Looks like she had the most fantastic roll and back scratch - and loved the chance to do it too - good for you!

[domane]

Mine are like that all the time... they don't wear rugs at all!!! :D Besides, at least you know how Sennie appreciated it.... he made the most of his nekkid time.....

But I do concede that it's a bit of a shock to the system when you're not used to it.... :p

[xxxkristinaxxx]

lol i bet she had fun without a rug on :)

im glad xena has a rug on atm as the weather has been really rainy and the field is very muddy.

[Clare-22]

Awww Sennie, and I thought I was brave to take Loki's neck cover off :D :D

Lovely to see them all muddy and happy though isn't it :)

[cazrider]

Yes, a shock to the system is about right Jane.:D Not to mention time with a rubber curry comb and dandy brush. But he sure did enjoy himself.:rolleyes:

Interesting, Portia and Kristina, that you both thought he was a girlie.:eek: Definitely not, but clearly the big eyed, trying to be cute act made you think so. That'll teach him. ;)

[Sammii]

I've turned Red out without a rug on today :eek: - he went OUT looking like how yours did coming in....deary me, i'm dreading going back to the yard :p

[Portia]

Lol, I didnt even think to look at the undercarriage - she is clearly a he! You're right, I was taken in by those big soft doe eyes ;)

[Whatanejit]

Oh he had a whale of a time didn't he the little monster!

Muddy horse is a happy horse!

Great photo!

Dx

[amandal]

Mine fooled me, turned her out without a rug yesterday and she came in so clean that most people at the yard thought I'd taken her rug off as I caught her. Put her out again today without a rug and got a black horse coming back in (she's grey :rolleyes: ).

[NoviceNic]

I have had the same thing all week. Then I bring him in and groom him for an hour to get all the knots and mud out and blow me he is filthy in the morning from his stable stains....:eek: :mad: :rolleyes:

Oh dear...

Mine looks like that for 23 hours out of 24 (he lives out without a rug). I occasionally attempt grooming to keep on top of the mud (some hope) - yesterday I spent an hour doing top to bottom including mane and tail. As I finished, the old timer in the field started pawing at the ground, got down and had a fantastic roll. And yes, all the others, including the spotlessly clean one, followed suit.

At least he only did one side - so if I stood on the other side and squinted, he still looked clean :D

[Little Dolphins]

What a fab pic of Sennie looking gorgeous and supremely happy!:D

What a lovely mum you is:)

[domane]

"I'm ready for my close-up!!!"

"..... and I'm ready for my full-body shot!!!"

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a179/domane/Indy/Image004-4.jpg
It's even worse now as the mud comes up past the knees/hocks too!!!

When they come in like this, my humour disappears for a time too.... :rolleyes:

[cazrider]

Thanks folks... good to know I'm not alone in the mud monster from out of the deep phase.:D Aren't they just gorgeous? Just shows that however much we try to domesticate them there is a true undomesticated animal in there somewhere. And none of them give a toss.:D

[teabiscuit]

he's rather nice isn't he? i like him *drool* but he's a welshie so i would say that :D
extremely good taste you have in horses cazrider :D

he does like his mud pack :D

[cazrider]

oooh I love you Teabiscuit.:D I think so too, but I am biased. ;) I'll have to post one without mud pack.. even more gorgeous.:D

[Teehee]

My God!!! :eek: How do you ever get them clean again??? I'd be praying for a good pour down!!! :D
