There is not one day goes past that I get to the field and BB is the way I left him ? it has only been happening since we moved ? he is nuts ?? I must admit hes mot usually a rug wrecker but he has managed to get out of his green fly rug with no neck without even unbuckling it ?1A58A0A8-A0A3-49EF-BA74-A961A22F85CA.jpeg

Two days ago one of mine came in with one ear out of his fly mask. Another is an expert at getting out of rugs whilst leaving all the buckles done up. It would be nice if they could put as much ingenuity into doing something useful!

Oooh set up a wildlife camera and entertain us with Houdini wriggling out of a fastened rug!

I have often thought about doing something like that, but I think I would be horrified at the many ways my horses narrowly cheat death in the course of a regular day of frolicking in the field if I actually got to watch it :)

One of my donkeys used to routinely undress my sweet itch mare and my other donkey. They didn't seem to mind at all lol!

I have since cured his habit by spraying their rugs all along the edges and straps with SU-PER Red Hot Spray. I cant remember when I last saw him try to nibble at either of the other ones rugs so I assume he has had enough of red hot chillies to last him a lifetime. The only thing I didn't dare use the spray on was her face mask in case it cause her discomfort in some way but just doing the rugs was enough of a deterrent for the little rascal..

Friends cob has fly mask, a SI rug that goes over his ears on top of that and then a field safe headcollar and somehow yesterday had everything in place except one ear out.
