Chancer has had a bit of a dry cough so he was given a horselyx respiratory block

Think he enjoyed it

and then he wanted a big kiss

He is now away for 2 weeks schooling and stabled next to the stallion who is finding him very attractive - keeps licking his nose - hope it is for the molasses and nothing else

Our pony looked permanently like that when she was cross tied. Anything to keep her happy. A word of warning though, she actually got quite sore under her chin were the lick had dried and formed sticky clumps in her hair. Its worth washing it off fairly regularly.
 
lol archies muzzles like that all the time as well- fotunately he's bay so you can't see it - until he rubs his nose on someones clean shirt!!
 
Oh tell me about it!

Flynn has learnt that if I forget the kick bolt he can undo his door. He then wanders round the turnout area until he finds th elick. Having got his face into that state he then goes and rubs his nose over everything he can find - doors, gates, fence, and also grooms the other horses over their doors. When I come out everything he can reach has a fine sticky layer over it. I can touch NOTHING without it ending up on me and I have a collection of sticky horses to groom as well. Yuck!

(But he is very cute when he's done it!)

At least yours lick, my beast scrapes with his teeth and eats the chunks.

As for lickits - he just eats them straight off the holder!!!

Yep, that's what mine does too. I'd be lucky if a salt lick lasted a week!!!

PSML!! I got one for B last year and never again!! She got it everywhere - even in her ears. I had to cut chunks of her coat out where it got all matted. She had a grand old time with it tho

So funny. Mine does this and it looks like she's a burns victim! She smeared it in my hair a few days ago and I can tell you it hurt like crazy to brush it out!!
 
Those pics are just brilliant

Horses just seem to love those licks don't they? Our cob has a bit of cough at the mo as well. We are thinking it may be due to pollen as there are a lot of flowering buttercups on the sectioned off bit, the field next door has long grass which has a lot of pollen too and the hedges are in flower as well. A few horses on the yard are experiencing a few allergy/hay fever type problems as well and it seems more likely that he is too. I will obviously keep an eye on it and if he gets worse or any coloured discharge then it will be a vet call out.
I am sorry to hear your lad has a cough as well though

and I am just wondering if there is a lot of it around at the moment which could be pollen related due to the warm, sunny weather we have been having?
Both my lads had some lick as well tonight. I don't get kisses but rather a smudge and a wipe as one tries to rub its head on me and the other will lick my arm, chest or anywhere leaving treacle like marks smeared over me lol.

Mine just decimates them, doesn't get in a mess just crunches them to nothing.

They're a treat now. Having said that, the big Horselyx ones were a puzzle for her, teeth kept sliding off the surface
