What is good for the goose

[Adopter]

Is a problem with ponies!

The water from the top moor runs off through a wide swaithe of our field making that part very water logged, but there's a dew pond full to overflowing as well, so our geese are pristine white, they have never looked so smart.

However in the same field I have two mud monster ponies covered in brown mud, legs, stomachs, tails, backs, just wish they could wash themselves like the geese! Or they could stay in the part of the field that is nice green grass!

If it ever stops raining and they dry out a mammoth grooming session is ahead.

I wouldn't say it is a pony thing as I have a great oaf of a horse that is plastered from head to foot in mud, he even has things trailing from his tail. Funnily enough I passed a geese on the way to work this morning and s/he was pristine white as well.

Don't know much about geese tbh, but my friend used to keep some and they were always grooming and cleaning themselves as they floated about on the pond. Wish we could train our horses to be self grooming..... Wouldn't that be great!

They do - only problem is that thy've none of them got past the beauty advice about frequent mud packs!!! (I am the doting owner of what can nly be described as a poo-bald cob1)

We have 3 horses, ranging from 15 2hh to 17 1hh, plus a 3yr old cob with a lot of white, guess which one is cleanest

Love the idea of a poo-bald cob!! I have two brown poo-bald cobs plus 4 perfectly white geese, oh and a clean white chicken!

Mine do seem to choose out of 6acres the dirtiest part of the field to lie down!
