When it itches, ya gotta scratch it.
This is a Thoroughbred foal with One Big Itch.
Incidentally, this photo, titled "The Big Itch", was my first of (currently) 44 magazine covers ! Lisa Groothedde, then of the Texas Thoroughbred, gave me the first opportunity in 2000.
This is Rhett, Steph's very dignified (and balanced!) endurance Arabian, with One Big Itch.
This is Stormy, Itchy-Scratchy all over! Notice his upper lip, and that he's biting his tongue in ecstasy. Jose comes up to supervise.
Gotta scratch it where it itches,
ReplyDeleteeven if it's in you britches... ;D
good one!
DeleteHa! Great pictures and video. He was in total ecstasy while you were scratching him. Love the lip.
ReplyDeleteLove that cover!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I scratch my horse's withers, they tend to curl around and groom me back. Stormy's lip is adorable...then again, Stormy is adorable...*S*
They all look like they want some of what you are giving out. Heck, I wanted some!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loved the video!! I could watch ponies getting skritches all day long - my appy is a big pooky-lipper as well. So cute!
ReplyDeleteThe horses prefer me scratching them, instead of them all using the fence as scratching posts!
