Why??????

[WelshMisfit]

With all that green grass in the background, does he have to roll in the muddiest patch in the field????

It's taken me absolutely ages to get him half way clean tonight and I can still taste dust in my mouth.

 

[orionstar]

Lol. Sympathetic as I've just finished brushing foalie and now my hair and clothes smell like horse pee, as he cant possibly sleep on the clean side of the stable!

 

[tasteofchristmaschaos]

Tell me about it! I have given up cleaning him as he just sees it a challenge to get dirtier than he was before. And that is why his rug isn't coming off until the mud dries up!

 

[Kokopelli]

He heard skewbalds are in fashion so is trying to keep up with the latest trends. Don't feel to dishertened my boy is trying out the size 0 look atm, I keep telling him curves are in but he won't listen to me!

 

[WelshRuby]

Love it!!!!!!! Look at the smile on his face!

 

[Snowysadude]

Its cause hes a grey-who-wants-to-be-bay!! Mine has exactly the same problem haha !!

 

[WelshMisfit]

Love it!!!!!!! Look at the smile on his face!

Lol.....tell me about it! He always looks so smug and pleased with himself after he's done it! To make matters worse, when he got up, he shook himself off and covered me with hair and dust from head to toe!

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

Lol, he looks like he loved that roll. I don't envy you having to groom him though

[Chellebean]

haha brilliant lol
Sorry I had to laugh! we had a 19hh grey at our yard that did that on a daily basis

 

[Fairy Dust]

Those pictures made me laugh sooooo much!! That is why I choose a brown horse...they are the same colour as mud!!!

 

[Mrs B]

Cos they can. I'd laugh if I didn't have the same problem

M comes in from the field looking like he's been tackling the Welsh at Twickers.

However! I can really recommend '7 days Mud-Away' by Net-Tex - it's an oil based spray and you really do have to only use it on a clean horse once a week. They'll still roll, but the mud doesn't snag in the coat nearly as much so grooming isn't such a pain for all involved...

 

[nikkimariet]

*snigger* haha he looks SO cheeky!! Bruce loves the mud as well, he does this funny thing; will roll on one side, shift himself so he's sitting on his bum like a dog, roll on the other side! Lazy git!

 

[misst]

That is why I will never have another grey Our old girlie is exactly like that - usually does it just after being groomed

[Trish C]

Haha, excellent!

I used to have a big Cleveland Bay gelding who adored being groomed and thought that winding me up was an FEI-qualifiable sport, but HATED mud (would rather crush himself against a gatepost and skirt round the mud than walk through it and would flat refuse to come out of his stable if there wasn't a dry option for his precious feet), and I swear when I'd groomed him and turned him out you could literally see the conflict between "eeeeuuuuuugh mud!" and "dya know what'd really piss her off after she's spent two hours getting me gleaming clean?!"
