COATS ARE COMING OFF

The weather here is rapidly returning to normal for Arizona - cool nights, warm days, lots of sunshine.

But animals that live outdoors are still wearing their winter coats - and suffering because of it.

I have never been a believer in covering horses with winter blankets; their natural hair seems to work just fine. But I also don't rushed to curry off that same insulation when it begins to get warm.

This evening - well, I may have sped the process up just slightly.

Have you ever heard a horse groan in almost pre-orgasmic relief?

It is a lovely sight.

I am now absolutely covered with white, black and brown horse hair. But at least five horses have less of their winter coats on (Sally refused to be groomed - she is certain that if she is clean, she is going to be moved, and so races to the far end of the pasture when any brushing implements surface).

So, what did you do this evening? And can you work in "pre-orgasmic relief" without resorting to an "NR-17" rating?
