When everything you touch turns to crap?
First I clipped Ivan's head. I did not notice that i had surgical blades on my trimmers. He looks like he has a severe case of face mange.
That was probably the point where I should have stepped away from anything appearance altering. I did not.
I went and got my faintly yellow horse in from the field, bathed him (that bit went fine) then the farrier arrive d to shoe him, which gave me plenty of thinking time. "I know" thought I, I'll go old school on the yellow tail. Out came the laundry bluing. Did I carefully measure out the correct amount? I did not. I poured a plentiful dollop in the bucket of water, and shoved his tail in it, several times.
SLightly alarmed by the fetching shade of aqua his tail had gone, I rinsed, and re-rinsed, then rinsed again. Still aqua.
SO I did what any sensible person would do. I plastered it in purple conditioner, on the basis that it might get rid of the green tinge.
It did not. It just added a few more colour dimensions, none of which would rinse out, even with neat fairy liquid
I finally came to my senses, put away my White Horse Survival Kit, and resigned myself to owning a big macho Irish Draft who is temporarily identifying as a mermaid...

Personally I think a mermaid tail is only an asset
