I can’t stand looking at these two anymore. What the hell were they thinking? Did they roll in that mud thinking it would help their skin tone?Their complexions? Keep the flies off?? ummm, just no.
Horses are pigs. There I said it. Tate waits to come into a clean stall to pee and poops more than any horse on the planet (seriously he will have up to 10 piles in there in the am) and he churns it all around because he has to spin to see what is outside oh every 8 seconds or so (What is it that Tate thinks? DO I HEAR A COYOTE? A BIRD? A PLANE? OMG HELP ME REMUS spin spin spin). LIKE CALM DOWN PONY. Then he does the mud bog treatment. I just can’t deal.
And Remus is neater in the stall but I think he sneaks over to pee and poop in Tate’s stall at night. I would not doubt it for a second. #Sneakyassqhgelding
BUT GOODNESS THE MUD. I can’t even scrape it off yet because it gets sunny for ten minutes then the rain comes again. And the flies love the mud so I feel like telling them both they got what they asked for. Idiots.
Is your horse a pig? Does he do spa day on his own? IS there a hazmat suit big enough to cover Remus in totality? Inquiring minds wanna know! HA
Also my horse is a creeper. Or a stalker. You name it. This is what I saw when I looked out the kitchen window while cooking dinner Monday night. Fat Buckskin is going on a diet and soon. But he stalks me. I am waiting for him to come bang on the front door. He is just biding his time for his invitation inside the house. Not with all that damn mud on him. UGH

Jiminy stays relatively clean? (let’s not ever discuss those 2 chestnuts though…) And the camera and computer at 50lbs whereas the phone only adds 20lbs… OMG.

May is one of the cleanest horses I have ever met. She RARELY comes in with mud on her. I know she rolls, but she seems to prefer rolling on grass/weeds than in the mud I guess? I am not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Amber loves to stay clean. She’ll only ever have a poop or pee stain unless she got a little cold at night or had nowhere else to lay down and sleep. I’ve had to do that maybe…..3 or 4 times ever? I’m not complaining lol. BUT if there was a hazmat suit for horses Amber would’ve had one years ago LOLOL

Duke is the BIGGEST pig. He loves being muddy when he’s turned out, and when he stays in or we go to shows, I swear he poops five times an hour. (Which I refuse to complain about – if I do I feel like I’m just ASKING for him to colic lol). Oh and at shows he likes to sleep with his white parts in poo and pee so he gets at least 3 full baths per show. Plus green spot remover. Plus post-ride rinses. Good thing he’s so cute and such a gem.

Gem is sparkling clean. Never a speck of mud anywhere on her. Pete is gross and if you brush him he immediately rolls while looking you in the eye and basically giving you the middle finger. Eeyore I haven’t seen him get dirty yet but he sweats more than any horse I have ever met. 10 seconds of walk work? Drenched in disgusting sweat from head to toe. He also poops a ton. More than Gem and Pete combined. Disgusting orange horse

Even with the limited turnout we’ve had lately, Eli seems to enjoy full body exfoliation in the sandy paddocks. I use baby wipes to get the sand off his face. Lots and lots of baby wipes …

Nilla likes to coat herself in mud, but Dijon was always the grossest of my horses. Levi usually stays cleanish, but he destroys his stall on a daily basis.

Dirty animals! I think they all love mud. Jamp is feeling left out because his tiny medical paddock is covered and doesn’t get muddy. Poooooor Jampy. But Rio makes up for it. Fear not.
