Have I mentioned I hate Spring?

And shedding horses? That is all.

I saw my first lady bug this morning..

and so the invasion begins!!!

Was it a real ladybug or an alien? (Looks like a ladybug but it bites and has a nasty odor if you squish it, which draws more of the little aliens to that location.)

Aww, you don't like the de-yakking?

Not when I end up looking like the yak. :rofl1:

We need pictures of your yaks


For investigative purposes of course

I took the shortcut. Tristan got body clipped last night. Shedding season? Done.

I'm jumping next week. I almost cried when I tried brushing captain last night. I think I better start preparing him 2 days in advance! lol

I use to hate that time of year too with the horses. My first horse took forever and a ton of work to get all the hair out. One summer when I was 15, I was in the hospital for quite a while with a serious brain concussion. When I came back, my friends had brushed my horse and gotten all that hair out for me as a thoughtful gesture. What a treat it was. He was one that would hold onto his hair for a long time. My Arabians weren't as much work and their hair shed out fast.

So have fun! I don't envy you that job. On the other hand, it does make for some really, really buff arm muscles. lol.

I went out this morning and brushed the mud out of my older gelding and he wasn't shedding but my younger one was a mess! I am always sad to clip him though because he comes in funny colors Old mare will get clipped soon because she never sheds.



There were mosquitoes out yesterday

I have brushed enough fur out of Bimmer in the last couple of days to make three medium sized dogs.
