How Clean Is Your Horse? Photographic Evidence

[Super_Kat]

If he were mine he'd be having a cold bath every ruddy day.............He's minging!!!


Eugh, mud! *cringes*

 

[301184]

Ewwww, he is very, very dirty!!

He still looks gorgeous though, he is a good looking horse!

 

[tw1nn1ejo]

Hehe that is one muddy pony

 

[Munchie]

Jumping on the dirty grey bandwagon.....though nowhere near as bad as some of yours!!

Still, at least he seems pleased with himself!

I love his lil black tips on his ears.....

Sooo cute!

 

[Weezy]

He is pretty minging tho Munchie! And yes that is a "ha ha ha" face!

Must take you ages to get clean! expecially with those feathers!!

 

[Weezy]

SJ2003 and NMM beat me!

 

[I_A_P]

that really is one of my worst nightmares!!!! lol

 

[Weezy]

I sort out his saddle area to ride and curry off the worst elsewhere (or grooming block it) and, I am afraid to say, I leave the rest! He wont be hosed off properly until a week on Tuesday when he will be prepared for hunting! Plus I want him to keep as much natural defense in his coat as possible - we are lucky that our hacking is on private land so no one sees us!

 

[severnmiles]

Ernie in all of his glory....

Atleast his head was clean

 

[sorona]

That is one filthy horse, I thought my cream dun ground the mud in but i dont think I have ever seen him that bad; luckily the rest of mine are dark bays and one chestnut flaxen who will grind his forelock and mane into the dirt, yuk; but I dont think i will moan about it any more, lol!!

 

[GTs]

That is nothing - Clarita was actually a grey! Never did get her clean!

 

[Weezy]

*snigger*

 

[Ginn]

My pony is clean and tidy

Her coat is so glossy that even in the middle of winter the mud flicks off effortlessly.

This was her on Friday having been out in a muddy field rugless for the day after a quick flick with a body brush

 

[Weezy]

Yeah yeah yeah - whatever

She does look incredible tho!

 

[Ginn]

Thankies. She does seem to indulge in a daily mud pack but it flicks off sooo easily - I've never come across anything like it before! Just hope she stops growing soon or I won't be able to reach the high bits

really, what a perfect horse you have, i can tell you hardly spent no time cleaning any mud off

 

[Weezy]

She is one absolutely gorgeous horse - I cannot wait to see her progress when you start to back her etc

And dammit can she teach Boss how to roll and NOT ingrain the the mud!

 

[Ginn]

Maybe its our clay soil? But vinegar and hot water lifts even wet mud brilliantly so threaten him with a bath!

 

[Weezy]

Ohhh never heard of vinegar!

Ummm we are on clay too!

 

[Ginn]

Really!? Its brilliant stuff! Mix 1 part vinegar to about 10 parts boiling water and hot towel. Fantastic stuff! Especially in the winter when its too cold to bath. I'll put the mud repellant down to T's super fine tb coat then.

 

[Vicky7041]

ROFL, that is so funny! Sorry but I can't beat that! My boy is a georgous pink roan, which hides a multitude of sins thankfully!
Its a bit like groundhog day for you at the mo then?? Tomorrows pic is gonna be even better then what with all todays rain!

[Blackhawk]

Ha! J (who is a TB) is utterly filthy most days even with a rug on! I think yours is just special

It's even better mixed with 100% alcohol - we called it rubbing alcohol in the US. It's difficult to get over here though - you CANNOT drink it though - would prob kill you

 

[Weezy]

Oh he is in overnight! Got him at at 3 today (he went out at about 11) as the rain started to spit and I didnt want him soaked! It is exactly like Groundhog day but luckily I play ponies as my day job so it isnt a big deal!

 

[Ginn]

The water or the vingar? Would the medical alcohol stuff work?

 

[Weezy]

Wow will give that a go - tho he will then look skewbald as I refuse to do any area other than his saddle patch unless necessary!

 

[Ginn]

Lol! It doesn't take long.....

 

[Dotilas]

The mud just slides off my boy! This is a photo of him at his cleanest!!

 

[LEC]

My god that gives me nightmares! Had an 11hh pony who got covered and was grey but luckily I was too small so my mother dealt with it!

Would Boss freak out at one of those giant babygros? Like the ones FMM uses? Its much thinner and body hugging than a rug.
