All dressed up with no place to go

Yesterday was a really warm day, the kids were restless and were needing something to keep themselves busy. Hey Mom's out there do your children come up to you and say "Mom I am really bored, there is NOTHING to do!"

Well I solved that problem. The ponies needed a good spring grooming, there was hair flying everywhere! They are shedding like crazy like CRAZY I say!

 

Arial loves to be groomed. Think of it like a day at the spa. She really enjoys it and you can see the relaxation in her expression, it also make her lips twitch with pleasure.

 

It also gives me the perfect opportunity to take pictures of her while she is tied up. She is very patient with me while I do this. Though she does sometimes think my camera is a peppermint.

 

I just love her lips they are so cute and fuzzy! Kissable!

 

I just love her lashes, I wish I had long beautiful lashes like that!

 

Pampering is very exhausting! My goal was to pull her forelock,it has gotten very long this winter. When you pull a pony's forelock they yawn. It is uncontrollable, they do it the whole time, it's a bit contagious.

 

Whew excuse me I can't help myself.....*Yawn*

 

Not quite finished yet...... *yawn*

 

Feuw! Man I am sleepy!

 

Ok Done!

After I got her good and clean and brushed I gave her a BIG ear scratch and gave her some carrots for being such a good girl. (When you pull a horse's mane you actually pull the hair out. Arial does not like it much, I use a new special comb now that does not pull her hair out. She likes it much better!)

When I scratch her ears or give her a treat she does this.

 

Pure pleasure!

I love spring grooming....love the flying hair. We always gather it up and stash it under the tree around the office. I've found birds nest at the end of summer made entirely of horse hair.
