Wash Days

I have been soooo busy with all sorts of non horsey things that I was really starting to get quite panicky...But yesterday finally the day came where no other catastrophe eventuated and I could finally get to do some things with all the horses (well 3 of them actually)!!! I took one look at Gypsy and Sarg and thought "Oh well I can do most of the tasks while doing the shampooing etc" so off we went to the wash down bay....I decided that Sarg could walk or whatever he liked down the driveway when I lead Gypsy at liberty, so I shut the gates and off we went....I lead Gypsy and opened the gate to the small paddock in front of the barn, and NO Sarg had decided that the grass was far too yummy to come straight down, so we wandered on in to the yards, and I settled Gypsy in with a bit of hay.  He still hadn't arrived so I went into the middle of the paddock and called- Sarg was merrily eating long grass down by the bridge, but when I called he trotted on down the drive and into the yards..We then commenced to wash all the diret and grime from their coats....I always dp PNH when I move the horses whether it is washing them or any other thing I do with them...anything they aren't happy about it's approach and retreat until they are ok with it. Both felt so much better once they'd had their bath...I left them there to dry off in the lovely sunshine...they looked quite a picture - gleaming in the sun.
