The boys are gorgeous, even with Hank's dust bath! You got some great photos too, the clarity is amazing. Did the shampoo really do the trick to soothe itching? I might have to get some of that.

Oh Hank! Naughty boy. Neat picture where he is shaking off the dirt. They both look beautiful after their baths, despite the dirt roll. I'm looking for one of those spray on shampoos. Haven't seen that brand. Thanks posting about it.

I love these pictures! What a fun time and so typical after they have a bath, go and roll!
The picture of him shaking is hilarious!

man I hate it when they do that! And they always do that! As soon as you think sure they are dry enough they couldn't possible do to much dirt dammage! Then bam they get down and dirty!

he was very shiny and clean and quite handsome even if it was for one brief moment :)

Don't you just love horses?! I can't tell you how many times I've had that happen, moral of the story is - never have a horse with any white on it!!! (Only kidding Hank)

Hi Carson: Great photos. It looks like Hank is feeling better with the arthritis since he is able to roll like that and get up without too much pain. Hats off for taking such good care of all the animals at your ranch.
It looks like you are really enjoying your summer in NM.
Best always, Sandra

2009-07-13T13:51:57.246-06:00

My mare did worse than that! Not only did she step on the hose that bathed her....but then not two seconds after rinsing and not even able to sqeegee off she took a roll in the MUD and the DIRT!!! So I really did a lot of work for nothing...I still had a dull beige horse that was s'posed to be glistening white!

Gosh they are gorgeous! I used to live in Virginia...

2009-07-13T13:10:31.244-06:00

Gosh they are gorgeous! I used to live in Virginia where we had red clay in the soil and my cats would roll in it. The vet told me it protected them from fleas. Don't know if it works for horses or if you have fleas there or not.

Well, at least they got to enjoy the spa and THEN get some clean dirt to roll in.

The joys of seeing our horses clean, then immediately dirty.
Hank looked so good nice and shiny, apparently he didn't think so!
I have one of those shampoo sprayer things, but I haven't tried it yet. I'll have to do that the next time my horses get a bath!

2009-07-13T12:20:45.953-06:00

Horses are the same the world over....they love you and all that you do for/to them, but then, yours really don't want to go out into the wilds of NM looking like girly-men now do they?

We were gonna bathe yesterday too, but then thought....nah.

Hilarious! Both boys are oh so handsome!

Oh Hank...! Well, at least he was all shiny and clean for a few pics, eh. What a gorgeous boy! :-)

2009-07-13T10:29:21.834-06:00

LOL! I have no doubt they both enjoyed all the pampering. Boys will be boys, apparently. They sure do look perty all cleaned up!

I laughed, too, at your description of the shampoo and the little men inside.

It figures huh? I had spa day for my two on Saturday. My bay is a very clean boy and didn't roll. My fat red one rolled before I could even get out of his stall. mama's little piggy! Lyle looked beautiful for a minute there!

2009-07-13T09:08:21.029-06:00

Beamer loves to roll after a bath, so I make sure I put him in a grass pen until he's dry. You got some great photos of Hank rolling there!

Love the photos and the story! They are beautiful...

2009-07-13T08:17:01.030-06:00

Love the photos and the story! They are beautiful, whether before or after rolling! And tri-colors are my favorities - not that I don't like every horse of every color.

2009-07-13T06:46:58.316-06:00

Now Linda - you KNOW the best part of the equine spa day is the ROLL! :)

I love seeing their bellies - for some reason it makes me think of my babies (the human ones) when they were very young.

I have to tell you though - in the shot of Hank rolling, all four hooves in the air, I am seriously drooling over those four frogs!

I have become a geek about horse hooves.

2009-07-13T06:31:04.824-06:00

Well, look at it this way, at least he didn't push past you into the house jump on the couch trailing water everywhere and then run upstairs and do THAT on your bed! which was my last dog bath experience.

Great photos! Have a great week.

2009-07-13T06:26:18.199-06:00

I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me. I've tried to outsmart them by hand grazing until dry, but no good. They still roll. Hank was absolutely beautiful and sparkly before the roll,he's still a handsome guy even when dusty. What a good boy Lyle is for staying clean.
I haven't seen that shampoo but I'm going to get some and give it a try.
