It's mud on top of melting ice on top of more mud here!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Photochic, They do seem happy enough!<BR/><BR/>Mikael, These rubs are the worst I've seen on Misty.

I finally stripped her blanket off because sometimes those rubmarks will result in the scarring that leaves white hairs. White hairs on my black bay mare would not be good.<BR/><BR/>As for the mud, they do love it. That's for sure. My gray mares look pinto right now with their dry caked on mud. lolRising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926013554523279624.post-74155807829260451102008-03-19T16:15:00.000-07:002008-03-19T16:15:00.000-07:00Happy girls.

Mine are shedding like mad right now and it is snowing out! I guess we're only going to get a few inches thankfully. I hate those rub places too but some horses seem to get them worse then others. One of mine gets them so I have to put one of those bra things under his blanket and that helps. I don't know what they are really called.<BR/>I had a blast in Florida at the mini horse show! They are sooooooo cute, be sure to stop by and see some of the pictures that I took. I WANT one but am not going to get one, already have too many mouths to feed!Midlife Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531655128417397650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926013554523279624.post-32004492876752849682008-03-19T09:26:00.000-07:002008-03-19T09:26:00.000-07:00Arlene, I don't mind them rolling so much,after al...Arlene, I don't mind them rolling so much,after all it what they love. I feel guilty over the mud their standing in until it dries up. I've conceded to dirty girls until spring has really sprung..LOL<BR/><BR/><BR/>NuzMuz, The Weaver that I bought for Kola didn't leave any rub marks. Hell, the inside wasn't even peppered with hair....I think it's the horse too. Kola is gaited and takes shorter strides. Misty has long strides and that's why I think she gets the marks. I'm going to get her a Weaver as well. The true test will be next winter. If she gets marks from the Weaver than I know it's her stride. Thankfully it does grow back. Now I have to worry about goat eaten tails growing back. Thank God, I don't show....LOLCalliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704537697611988375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926013554523279624.post-48080237827390225222008-03-19T09:11:00.000-07:002008-03-19T09:11:00.000-07:00What is the deal with rub marks from blankets on t...What is the deal with rub marks from blankets on the shoulders? Every blanket I have had has left them, whether new or old. I thought it was just the nature of the blanket wanting to slide back from the slope of the neck and the withers, putting pressure on the shoulders and causing rubbing. Fortunately, the hair grows back fast enough.Nuzzling Muzzleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649710635013663900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926013554523279624.post-12155209851401807912008-03-19T09:02:00.000-07:002008-03-19T09:02:00.000-07:00You might just as well forget it, the muddier it i...You might just as well forget it, the muddier it is the better they like it.
