This is why TB's should be rugged up to the eyeballs....

[Carefreegirl]

Pfffft......Bog Pony more like

Wouldn't think she was a Show ponio would you

Check out the baby bump, 22 weeks today but poor thing is probably feeling seasick after all that rolling !

 

[poiuytrewq]

Ouch!

I learnt my lesson after turning mine out naked thinking it would be nice for him to have bit of a roll before proper winter came.....nasty little pig's been well rugged ever since!

 

[SaharaS]

pfft...half hearted effort..my tbs can get wildebeast to think they are one of them in 2nano seconds - and thats including full under rug sliming. Congrats on bump tho..she was probably teaching it to roll for you!

 

[Antw23uk]

I hear ya!! Given up and she is known as mud pony now!

 

[Ibblebibble]

hehe, at least she's not grey!!
this was last spring, she'd been rugged all winter and couldn't wait to get rolling

LOL It was her first day back out after 8 weeks confined to barracks due to a bad abcess which started at the toe and tracked up to the heel and then it was so frosty I didn't want to put her out onto frosty grazing incase she got colic. She, like yours manages to get as much under the rug as on it. How do they do that



Ibbledibble - my previous horse was Grey - NEVER EVER again will I own a grey horse............. (Disclaimer: The one in my sig isn't mine, I'm just lucky enough to ride her)

 

[Echo Bravo]

Shame on you for spoiling her fun,that's what brushes are for keeping your arm muscles fit.She's trying to do you a favour

 

[PandorasJar]

We have one like that. Everything else stays nice and clean from knees up and the tb comes in looking like she's rolled around the river

...they have thumbs ofcourse!..and spend all day doing covert rug removing expeditions & assisting each other in demonic mud wrestling behaviour

 

[Lolo]

It's when you wear swimming goggles to groom them that you know they're too muddy

Brushes I'll have to look that up in the dictionary

I bought an expensive Body brush when I bought my previous horse back in 1997, He went to the Blood Bank and I've had T-bag coming up for 7 years. The brush (ashamedly) is still pretty much 'as new'

Anyone that knows me knows how bad I am at grooming.......

At least I don't have to groom her for another year or so whilst she has a mini T-bag (tea leaf )

 

[harlequinwalk]

My palomino TB x came in yesterday looking like a drowned and muddy rat, the day after I had given him a full groom and tidied up his mane!! Not cool!!

 

[ebonyallen]

Crossed with a Hippo, by any chance !!

 

[nikkimariet]

And this is why TB's shouldn't be rugged up to the eyeballs:

Cause they're muppets!

Funnily enough I've always thought that......

PSML The look on his face, pure quality !

 

[HaffiesRock]

This is what my pony looks like most days.

He lives out naked so I leave him be. Sometimes I will do this to be mean

"Mummmm it happened again"

 

[goatbabies]

Haha I was in a rush today and was all smug thinking that since the mare is so well rugged that I wouldn't have to brush her before riding. How wrong was I? I think she got her field mates to yank her rug to one side so she could lie in the mud!

 

[Cinnamontoast]

Could be worse, you could have a fluffy cob!

He want's to be a coloured!

 

[ellie11987]

This is the state mine was in after ditching her heavyweight a few weeks ago! Must have felt the cold a bit, been rugged up for a while! Naughty pony

 

[flirtygerty]

And I thought mine was bad, thanks all for cheering me up, my lad is now rugged

 

[NU ABO]

Well, at least you're not dealing with a grey!

These are older photo's but probably an exact replica of what I came home to after work tonight

And that's with a rug still on!

Even Reg, who managed to attach the stable door to his head and then parade around the yard going "I've got the table door on my head and now I'm confused", hasn't managed that. The horse who rolled on a flint, and then rolled right over and sliced his other side open too, hasn't done that. I could list hundreds of mad things Reg has successfully accomplished which no other horse would consider. And yet we've never collected him from the field wearing his hood quite like that

 

[Carefreegirl]

Haffy - how did your mud monster manage to get that straight line down his body ? Looks like he's back half has been dipped ?

 

[Shantara]

Haha! Looks just like Louie, one of our TBs! I swear he's hairier than Jack the Cob!

And EEEEE baby bump!!! I was going to text you to ask how she was doing, but I broke my phone

 

[picolenicole]

Well mine is mostly grey, and a fluffly cob........

This is on a good day........

The other side was even worse

 

[Tnavas]

No photos but had one I renamed 'The Mudlark' as if there was mud he was in it - right into his ears! He was disgusting.

When I worked at the saddlery store we had one customer come in complaining that his horses brand new cover was leaking - so we replaced it. He came in a few days later saying the same thing - so we did the right thing and replaced it.

A week or so later a shamfaced sheepish customer came in and told us he'd caught his horse in the act!

Rolling in a very large puddle!

 

[Pale Rider]

Nice to see some happy looking muddy horses, don't they look depressed in rugs.

 

[cob&onion]

My cob is surprisingly still clean despite being mostly white, rugless and living out 24/7 in a muddy field!!
The colt who is black looks grubbier than she does
