Here in Washington State, we have two kinds of weather. A Little Rain, and A Lot of Rain. Right now, we're transitioning between the "Lot" and "Little," and the sun has actually come out for a few days, oh miracle of miracles. During this time, we drink less coffee - it's not overcast all day, so you can actually sense the difference between morning and evening. We also tend to drive a little slower - the sun blinds us without its protective covering of clouds and wrecks havoc on the roads. This also means that the horses are shedding like mad. Yesterday, instead of going to the gym like I was supposed to (naughty me), I decided to go down to the barn and groom the hell out of Moe. This turned out to be an undertaking of extremely hairy proportions.
We're talking GOBS of hair. It was on me, the ground, on him. It flitted into the stalls and made the other horses sneeze... 2 hours later, when my back and arms were sore and it seemed like I'd gotten most of the loose hair off him, I realized that my sweater was now "bay" and you could barely see the aisle floor. It looked like browny colored shag carpet had been laid down where Moe was standing.
And he still had more shedding to do.
Today, I will take some photos. And try to get more of the hair off him.
