My boy lives out 24/7 so with it being so wet in our fields, I decided to let him have the morning in so his legs could dry and I could oil them. He comes in happily and stands perfectly while I washed his legs and cleaned his feet. Bandaged him up to dry and he goes happily into the stable and starts munching hay. I crack on with some jobs and 20 mins later hes looking over the door longingly at his field. Then he starts kicking the door and biting the door frame. I thought OK you want attention so I go in to give him a good groom (he's naked so very muddy) Nope, not having that. Would not let me near him with any grooming brush.

So I bring him back out onto the yard and he happily stands to let me groom him and oil his legs. The whole time he couldn't wait to get back out, even with a huge haynet to keep him occupied! I suppose some horses just love being horses!

Here is the winter beast

Bless him

I'd love to have seen a pic ten mins later - I bet it would have been the same as the 'before' pic!
 
Wow he looks so clean after :)
Mine are the same, will come into the shelter for food but then they're straight off out again , they'd rather mooch around the Field even in this weather!!
 
I had my camera ready for the obligatory roll, but it didnt happen! Not while I was there anyway...

So here is one from a few weeks ago :D

I was thinking as I read your post that he sounds like my haffy Shady and then lo and behold, I scrolled down the page and he actually LOOKS rather like him too!! Is he a haffy too? That must have taken ages to get him that clean!!!
 
Bless him :D He looks lovely!
Some horses just love being out :)
My gelding would love that, my mare absolutely would not Lol :)
That must have taken some grooming!
