Mud Bath

Arggghhh!  Living in NW Iowa I didn't have to deal with mud like I do now that we are in NE.  The property we had had great drainage for the horses and was a high sand content so it dried quickly.  Sure I had a little mud, but not much and my horses didn't stand in it day after day like they do here.  This is what Jordan usually looked like, oh she got long hair in the winter and but shed out nicely in the spring.

Here is what she usually looks like now when we have had snow or rain and lays down in the mud.  I think she thinks a mud bath is good for her complexion or something.  Me, I really think she just likes to make my life more dirty :-)  Even Dancer doesn't get as muddy as she does.  I thought having a brown horse would be easier.....NOT!

I went on a camping trip this past weekend with friends and since Jordan looked like a 4 legged version of Pigpen, I gave her a bath and I am soooo glad I did.  She was all clean when we got there and I guess she likes the water too :-)
