It’s a fact that the horses that are the hardest to keep clean for more than 30 seconds are gray mares.

(All white horses are considered grays unless they have pink, unpigmented skin. Almost all white horses have pignmented skin. Sandy’s skin is mostly gray. She also has gray and reddish brown flea-bitten coat markings which can be hard to see in pics of her. )

Only when people are using the water on her. Rain is fine, as is her water bucket. And rolling in mud puddles is absolutely grand. She also lets me use fly spray on her, but I have to show it to her and say “spray” before I spray it or she’ll wig out a little.

A wet sponge in someone’s hand, though? oh no. No way

And don’t you even think of bringing a hose near her unless it’s to fill up her water bucket or soak alfalfa cubes.

Horses be wild fr lmao

It really is.

It took literal hours. We do baths in sessions. I do one side of her body, then let her dry a bit and settle down, and then do the other side. She thinks people getting her wet is scary and will spook at a sponge if she doesn’t watch it touch her

Lmao. I haven’t been able to give Sandy a full blown bath yet because she’s scared of hoses. She’s gotten sponge baths and little rinses but nothing as thorough as I wanted

100000%

Thank you! Buying her horse fashion is very addictive

She really does lol.

Not the same barn, but here’s part of the swarm I deal with daily at the place my horse is kept at. The little gray one is my helper and he gets so excited to see me.

My house is very small, so I can only fit a humble tree. It’s the best tbh.

Thank you!!

Thank you! The topper, skirt, and lights combo really makes the tree imo lol

There’s a blanket on the site I get my horse supplies from that is rainbow gummy bears. I want it sooooo bad, but it’s constantly sold out lol

Man, I forgot those things existed!

Hellll yeah! I saw it online and HAD to get it for her. It was on sale too!

3 days can’t shit was like RIGHT after the API exodus and was an incredible thing to experience right away

Omg does this count as fan art???

Lmao honestly.

I’m amazed she let the photographer put the wreath on her. She’s usually wary of strangers doing more than just giving out pets

I’m glad! We got her to pay attention like that by playing horse sounds on the photographer’s phone
