Ah yes, Spring with it's many joys, is upon us here in Oregon. The birds wake us in the morning with song, the weeds have popped right up in the yard next to the flowers.....and shedding definitely is happening with the mare.
I love my Grooming Stone/or Brick for this...works very well with the MUDD too.
Washashe is able to roll in her blanketless horses body now, as my
PBO takes it off for N/C - from over nights that still are 30 degrees.
She gets to be a horse again!
The Charcoal-ish brick starts square and wears down to a round stone looking object.
So when you need an edge again...you run it across the floor once or twice and it creates an edge again.
The mare really dislikes sticky grooming gloves that pull her hair or rigid brushes...so this has turned out to be a life saver for her thin skin! She tells me it actually feels good too! She is a picky one.
These lighter/ longer times I am very much enjoying for my favorite twilight rides...Just have to get the ride-home-timing memorized in my new woods and how long things take since I may get so much farther away now.
Head lamp and breast collar lamps for the mare my be in order.
Today,we cross a rather large sounding creek...we went out 2 hours yesterday, but turned back as we came up a new ridge. We could hear the creek below.
Until we meet again~ KK and Wa out and about~
P.S.
We meet up with a fellow rider tonight that boards 3 miles away..she is going to help us in her arena starting next week. And, he is introducing me to some English folks that actually live on my mare's Stable's street that are Eventers and are building a course and arena 1 mile from us!
