It's already Fall?!

This is what Sam should look like in his flysheet and flymask. 

This is what he looked like when I pulled him out of the pasture this morning after a few days of on/off rain. 

Wait for it...

Lovely. I'm not even sure he can see out of that. 

Though rainy, it's still pretty warm for us, so I hosed him down with warm water wearing sheet and mask. He actually seemed to really enjoy it and didn't make ANY fuss about spraying his face. I rubbed him down with a towel and by the time I got in the saddle he was almost totally dry. 

I turned him back out naked and when I go back tonight for show prep, I'm hoping not to find a mudball again.
