To brighten up your day, try not to fall off your chair

[newforest]

But the cob came in a little grubby.

There are feathers under there somewhere.

The positive was the farrier wasn't coming today.




By all means be sympathetic, but I really am expecting you to laugh your socks off.

Where is that power hose!

 

[Trewsers]

Mr T thought it was an elephant's feet! Hahahahaa. You definitely need a power washer!!!

 

[newforest]

Yes they are big aren't they.
She would take a size seven if she had boots.

I think the way the shots taken with the light reflecting it does resemble elephant skin colour at quick glance.

I say more pig oil and sulphur needed.

 

[diplomaticandtactful]

I see similar ones on Buddy daily, only they are dried on in big clumps....

 

[Jane&Ziggy]

There's a turn up for the books!

I think she could pass as a baby elephant, just minus the trunk.

I don't use anything on her except mane and tail on the mane and tail. So I knew I couldn't complain, it's just funny.

I really, really do not miss that about hairy cobs - the pathetic scanty ID type wisps of feather from both Dolly and Miller are bad enough. Interestingly the only winter one of my hairies ended up with mud fever was a the winter I religiously took care of the feather with PO and S ??? Leave them as they are is my best advice...once you start washing the mud of and faffing around on a regular basis you get down to the skin and that is a big No in cold wet weather with them.

I was watching people yesterday queueing up at a yard i was at waiting to wash legs off before stabling.
I got back this morning from my hack and just slapped some oil on the feather under the mud and out he went. The only time i wash the legs is for the farrier.

Ours are like that up to their bellies almost Im so sick of the weather, was supposed to be a nice dry day yesterday but no it rained yet again!
How on earth did you fall off a chair @newforest ??

 

[horseandgoatmom]

They do sop up the mud don't they.

I didn't fall off a chair, it means if people are laughing so much so they fall off theirs.

 

[newforest]

I don't wash hers either. I hacked out like that and when I got back it had either fallen off or was dry enough to flick off the worst.

I will see what she looks like today. We do have mud but as a rule she avoids it.

Oh ok .... sometimes I wonder about myself.

 

[chunky monkey]

We all have those days.

Hehehehe I wonder about myself also! I just walked down to our parcel box talking to myself having just had a quick conversation with Chloe and Storm, as luck would have it there passed by a yellow van but least it didn’t have square wheels so that’s okay. When I retrieved the parcels Chloe was waiting at the gate to let me in. She “told” me she wanted to know what was in the packages. Hehehe keep taking the tablets I say.......

If you over do the oil or can stop the skin breathing and you create other issues.
I will get another photo, s what she looks like today.
I have shortened up the fronts, it will grow back. But that always helps.

I feel normal coming here.

 

[newforest]

Completely different when she came in today.
Spring could be here.
