Jose knows how to cool down on a hot day. He sees me with a hose, and he comes up to take a shower. Sometimes I'll call him when I'm watering, and he'll come up. Sometimes he'll stand near a hose and stare at me, clearly telling me he wants a shower.
He knows how to get his whole body wet by spinning around. He especially likes water sprayed on his chest, and at least once every shower, he likes to duck his head under the stream of water.
Here he is at City of Rocks, giving himself a shower.
Love Jose!

Jose spinning around to get an all-over spray is the cutest! My horse thinks he is made of sugar and will melt if he gets wet...sigh...
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome video of your horse getting his shower!! What a smart horse he is!! So fun to watch him come over to you and place himself in position to get a shower, and turn in a circle to get wet just where he wants it- too cool!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Love it! Love how he spins around to get all of himself wet...

CP does this! The hose is in the pony paddock. If I'm bathing someone else, he'll actually cut in!
ReplyDeleteJose is one smart boy, that's for sure. And cute as anything! Love him.
ReplyDeleteThat's really funny! None of my horses have EVER liked being washed. Maybe because it's never that hot here?
ReplyDeleteI have two horses that will do this. They especially love their chest sprayed also. Neither one of them spins all the way around like that but the older one likes to pivot for me to get each side.
ReplyDeleteChickory does this too, but instead of spinning she backs up under the spray. And then goes and rolls in the dust to get a good coat of fly-repellent mud.
ReplyDeleteSure is looking dry there.
Love the video! What a character he is and certainly a horse who knows what he likes.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute...he's a special guy!
ReplyDeletea very special boy with a big heart!
