We are so glad to see the spring and see the end of the winter mud. It will still take a while for the horses to shed out. Each has a different mud personality.
Shorty likes to roll every day, regardless of what things look like in the paddock. He doesn't have very long hair, but the mud cakes on strongly, of course. So he has DingleBerries, and they haven't even begun to come off yet, sadly.
Jake, fortunately, was not into rolling, so he didn't really get caked with mud. He's probably not wanting to roll in the gravel, because he's too bony and it wouldn't feel good. But he will happily roll in the grass of the arena and leave behind a red carpet of long hair.
Quigly also likes to roll, and with his long hair, he develops terrible mats. I call them Dragon Scales.
They are just about gone now, but when this picture was taken (about a week ago), he was getting really tired of them. I think they are annoying, as they pull at his skin.
Arby rolls in the spring, but not in the winter, so he didn't look so bad.
