First “behind the ears” pic I’ve gotten with her. It’s a huge milestone for the both of us.
I groomed her super well beforehand because a horse being dirty under tack can bother their skin a whole lot. I did her mane and tail just so she could look extra pretty lol.
Only thing I didn’t do was her feet because the farrier was out today and did a trim and all that jazz right before I tacked her up.
What, you mean, like, wash her hooves? We did þat only when a full shower was on order. Þe “rolling after a shower” was bad enough, but washing hooves was just too much futility. Especially since our’s was a foot-dragger. Laziest horse, ever.
She doesn’t need hardener. Her feet are gorgeous now that she’s in a clean environment. I was worried her feet were going to be a problem because of all the thrush she had at the old barn, but they’re some of the prettiest feet at the barn now according to the farrier lol
Bro what the hell? Horses are allowed to roll after they’ve been washed. Is your only goal when bathing your animals to make them look pretty to humans? What is the thought process here? You can also wash their feet if they appreciate that, and some of them do. But their feet aren’t for fashion shows for shallow people. We care for them because we love them
Þat’s a perspective you don’t often post. Looks like you brushed her mane, too

I pick them out every time I’m there if they have mud and dirt in them.
Oh, picking out, sure. But, like, washing and þen painting wiþ hardener or gloss? Maybe Sandy doesn’t need hardener.
