How shiney is my horsey???

[merlinsquest]

What do you think.... I would have liked to bath him today but as a) he needs a greasy coat to be weatherproof and b) its soooooo muddy in the field in places that it would just not be worth it.... I decided to try Tia's method of getting a shine........ GROOMING!!!

Not sure what his face is doing in the second picture.... I think he was hoping to squirt a big mouthful of water at me!!!!

He looks really well!

He looks as good (if not better) than if he had had a bath!

I was soooo surprised that he looked so shiney, still a bit dusty up close, but he needs to be rainproof too.

Took his feathers off and pulled his mane, just need to get him fit now as he is a bit podgy... he has had an easy summer as he has a bit of arthritis and spavins.... doesnt stop him eating though

I love the face piccie in your siggy too; he has such a kind eye!

Thanks Meandmyself..... he really is a kind horse, with an amazing sense of humour!!!

Merlin on left with Denny his old fieldmate....

Wish the second pic looked better facewise coz he looks like a real munter in that one!!!

I have a little black lad and his coat shines like glass, I don't like to bath him partly because his shine disappears for a week or two.

He looks fantastic
