Just thought I would add to Cheryl's post. For those of you who have never seen what a Clydesdale's feathers look like when they have been in the mud. I took a photo after 2 hours of breaking the mud balls with a channel locks and scrubbing down the legs I couldn't do more. Each leg has about 20 lbs of mud that has mixed with hay to form something like adobe bricks. I will have to periodically break them apart just so he can walk. He is such a good boy about this that we bought him a special treat. His absolute favorite which is too rich to feed regularly but now he has his own fresh bale of the very best fresh Clover Alfalfa that gets sprinkled through his regular hay, kinda like sprinkles on an ice cream. He smells that in his hay bag and immediately starts to burrow his big nose to the center to find the mother lode.
Poor Remi! Poor Mom trainer! That is a lot of mud to clean. And more wet stuff coming!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's an amazing amount of mud.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a week now and I am wondering with the beautiful weather we have had here this weekend if you two were able to get the clods off? LOL
