0 for 2

On the summer horseware front, we are officially zero for two.  Saturday I gave Odin a bath and put on his fly mask and Fly sheet (a kool coat).

Today I walked out to his pen and found a horse with no fly mask.  After a brief hunt, I found it.

At the bottom of his water trough.

HOW?

Then after our ride, I put his kool coat on and he promptly went to roll.  As he did the front buckle ripped off. Like completely disconnected from the sheet.  Luckily it didn't panic him that it was dangling sadly as he stood back up.

So he is naked tonight.

Actually that isn't totally true.  He has 2 flipped up bell boots on for some fetlock sores.  May god have mercy on their souls.

  1. I feel your pain. The only thing Stinker will keep on are his pull on bell boots. Well he will keep his blanket on, but only when he deems it cool enough to tolerate it. Anything with velcro comes off in a max of five minutes.

  2. Wouldn't it be nice if they were just a tiny bit less opinionated sometimes?

  3. Some horses are just the worst clothes wearers

    1. Seriously. Winter wear was ok, but summer wear might be a no go

    1. It also sounds like a perfect new nickname for him. I might need that monogrammed on something

    1. I should just start feeding it to him directly, skip the middle man.
