As it was nice and Sophie was a bit sweaty after I'd ridden her, I decided to give her a bath.
Needless to day I was crenched head to toe and the water gun flew off the end of the hose pipe and I was doused in water!

Thankfully I was feeling a bit warm so it cooled me down.

Ponio seemed to enjoy it as she was half asleep when I was giving her belly a scrub!!

I washed my trailer, does that count? It's been stored under trees since end October and was green in places no Ifor Williams should be green... and there was grass growing in one of the sidelights

Mine had a much-needed bath on Thursday and has subsequently gone all fluffy and shiny in the sun.

Gave my poor boy who is on box rest a bath, he loved it but he got a bit beside himself afterwards and was in his box bucking and rearing

Well done! My OH would approve - he's non horsey other than adores supporting daughter, in the motor trade, and rants incessantly at shows about the amount of money these horsey people have he can't understand why these fancy horses are shipped to shows in boxes and lorries that look like they've never had a wash in their lives, surely they've enough money just to buy a new one if they can't be bothered to clean it! Ours is so pristine (w/o me having to clean it at all

), he was delighted to be asked where we bought our new box from (it's about 4 years old and we only got it this year)

Most my roof's still green as I couldn't reach it - OH came over all macho and was working out he could reach it by hooking a leg over the ramp and leaning just a bit backwards...
so I decided enough was enough. He's 45 not 25 and I can't afford a new husband or trailer!

Showering and bathing horses as a matter of routine every day in temps of nearly 30 degrees and very humid.SW France.

I didn't give a full bath but I did shampoo his mane, tail and feathers. His mane has gone very bouffant, I can't do a thing with it!
