One Hot Boy!
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009 03:47 pmBy the time we had walked in from his field, we were both hot. I suppose the advantage of that is he stood and snoozed while I groomed - so he rested, and I got hotter.
I got my fly spray, btw, only to find the nozzel was blocked - so he ended up getting it dabbed over him!!
We met up with Ros and Shadow, as Toni wasn't riding this morning - Junior doesn't have shoes, and Smudge was having a day off - he competed last week ... and is due to compete in a couple of weekends time.
We got as far as the round the block turn off ... and turned back ... it was hot!
Once home, I gave DJ a bath, which I think he really enjoyed - then back to his field ... so he could roll, of course!!

Some horse with white patches get problems with sun-burn! Not DJ, luckily.
