It’s hot again.
Too hot to ride and too hot to think.
I sat down with the purpose of writing something inspiring and the muse is silent.
So let’s have a bath time pictorial instead!
As you might imagine, bathing a horse can be a wet business, especially when it’s this hot and I’m looking for a little relief myself. So, these images (except the first which is my own and taken just last week) are courtesy of my brother, James McDonall, who was visiting from Calgary six weeks ago and happy to view from the sidelines.
Christine pops Bear over a final jump. … Now … time for a nice bath …
Important to wash the face …
Bear never misses an opportunity to smile for the camera …
Soap everything up real good …
Give the tail a once over …
A final rinse …
And afterwards a nice picnic …
Stay cool … and nurture what you love.

Beautiful Bear is, nice shots by James.
Thank you, Mike. I agree with you on both counts. Be well, Dorothy 🙂
I soooo enjoyed this post! Washing his tail was a great silhouette ! Magnificent animal
Thanks! We’ve been doing a lot of this lately. It’s been so hot!!
Shines like a diamond …. nice view of a horse bath.
MMmmmm … does Bear know he was being captured
while naked? LOL
He loves to ham it up for the camera. 🙂
