is your's a mud monster or a avoider

Mine is an epic mud monster! He smooges his face in the mud, even goes for a roll in filth on his way to me when called. Horrible!

50/50 with mine, will create her own mud pit to stand in, doesn't like to walk in mud, actually pushed me out the way once when I walked her in hand.

Won't roll in mud but will happily stand in her mud pit looking for me to arrive and feed her!

Bless her
 
Complete mud monster - it gets inside her eyes, nose everywhere and she really doesn't like being brushed! I got back from a show on Sunday to find lumps of mud in her mane which I hadn't noticed...
 
The gelding is known as the mud monster as he will go out in a red rug and come in with it brown needing hosed from head to toe having rolled ten times in the first ten minutes in the muddiest pool of sludge while my mare will take her time unless dry picking the driest spot so she doesnt get too wet and only gets one side dirty and rolls one to his every ten times lol
 
One of mine will skirt around muddy puddles and look disgusted at having to wade through mud to get to the field. Once she is in the field however she has no worries about wallowing upside down in it, just not keen on walking through it.

The other will slosh through anything and if she can get her head in it then all the better.
 
My TB is a dedicated mud monster. He will roll in muddy gateways and rubs his neck up and down about 10 times to ensure maximum coverage. If there are no suitable muddy places he makes his own by digging, his current wallow is about 5 foot wide and 8" deep and full of liquid mud, bliss. He wears two rugs and manages to get the mud up his flanks and backside, and despite wearing a 3/4 snuggy hood gets it halfway up his shoulders as well, his forehead, his eyelashes and his forelock. He is currently off the field due to mud fever (surprise, surprise) - he's got it on his cheeks from where he rubs the mud in - and is desperate to get out there again!
 
You decide. This was the middle of summer and 2 minutes before he was the same colour as his friend in the foreground.

This is how he's dressed for winter (plus a tailbag these days) He still manages to get mud everywhere though!

Mud monster, this was within seconds of bein turned out at our new yard last year. He gets it all up under the rug and in the neck to.
ETA it was a brand new rug too!
 
I am far too pretty to cover myself in mud!

Definitely a mud monster, especially if it's been raining. But it isn't clay and after a night in a deep, straw bed she's clean again :)
 
. . . and the mud monster managed to completely bury his headcollar in the liquid mud by the gate . . . no, he wasn't wearing it in the field - it was hung up on the gate attached to the leadrope . . . I only managed to find the very end of the (blue) leadrope just sticking out of the muck . . . how the hell?
