Fall clip

This is a nice weather week. Highs in the high 60s and lows in low 40s. No rain and SUNSHINE! 

I live in WA state, in case I hadn't mentioned that already. Fall has started in full force last month and so for the next 8 months until spring, we savor every sunny day.

This was the view yesterday.

And my horse was 1/2 asleep. Must-a baked in the sun before I got there. We jumped some jumps and then went for a trail ride in the back with my friend, Amy.

After un-girthing, I noticed the sweaty curls. My guy rarely sweats and wet curls just reminded me how fuzzy he's getting. Though all the horses are also shedding this week.

So I returned to the barn in the evening to clip the beast.

Before - crushed velvet waves

After - smoooooooth

I'll do the legs and head on Weds. Don't think I'll have time today. He's really really good about standing quiet. But starts getting antsy right when I finish the body, so I always do the legs and head the following day.

And of course, now that he's naked, stable blanket at night.

All tucked in
