Dirty Beloved...



Thursday December 9 2010

Snow has mostly melted, slowly, leaving behind a sea of mud, sticky sand and slick clay. The Owyhee Spa clay is particularly scrumptious for rolling in right now.

Stormy already had a couple of coats of dirt on him, and he went for another thick layer.








He may have won the prize for dirtiest horse at the Spa.

Could you kiss this dirtbag when he comes up to you wanting kisses??

  1. I could kiss him....*lol* Then again, I could kiss most every horse I meet.

    The mud looks lucious...but I would think getting wet in it would be cold. Beats me why horses don't mind that part.

  2. I'd kiss him in a minute! But I always wonder how it feels to roll in cold wet mud?

  3. I shudder to think what Ranger would look like if he lived with you. He can get very dirty in a dry grassy pasture.

    I think that in his case it is the sign of a misspent youth. He grew up in a stable with a meticulously maintained stall.

  4. Sometimes I think horses like to experience the transformation of looking like a paint or appy...!

  9. I call my gray gelding the dirt magnet. Sometimes he resembles a bay - he can even get the backs of his ears caked with Colorado clay

  11. Agnes prefers the color green. She'll get it from any source, she's not picky.
