Ode to Grey Horses

Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous - nearly 80 on October 8 - and as we all said, "The Last Really Nice Day for Many Months."  We were lining up to use the hose for dog baths, horse baths, sheath cleaning, etc and enjoying a few cold brews and good conversation while we were at it.  Earlier in the day, Christine and I had taken the boys up to Boulder Lake for a quick 7 mile loop and they had both finished absolutely dripping wet with sweat (already got those winter coats well on their way to plushness).

Tomas looking good!

Rhio shiny & clean post-hosing

Uh-oh

The mere seconds it takes for him to make himself completely filthy again are a bit depressing!
