So this morning, after my visit/grooming/re-wrapping/carrot feeding/love time with Laz, I decide to fluff up his bedding. I picked through his stall (mind you the barn owners keep it immaculate) but I try to do my part when I'm there. Now that Laz is able to go from his stall to his private paddock, he doesn't burn through the shavings as quickly. That being said, they still get compacted down by the end of the day, if not sooner.
So I cleaned it (princess and the pea comes to mind), and flipped it upside down. re-spread it and placed a layer of fresh shavings down.
Well, lookie who came in from his sand play pen for a nice "Thanks Mom, lemme roll and rub my scent in this nicely fluffed bedding" time.
'Watch this Mom!'
'ahhhhhh'
'yup, that smells better now'
'C-ya, I'm going back out!'
I just finished catching up on your current events. What a ride! I'll be reading and pulling for you and thinking of your sweet Laz. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful blog and I like your style.

Love the rolling - fresh shavings are great to roll in - we use pelleted bedding so most of our rolling happens outside.
ReplyDeleteI love it when horses roll around! It is one of my favorite things that they do. I have to stop and watch every time! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, he is so cute. Aren't horses the best when they roll? They are like puppies or kittens or something - no they are just like horses! Terrific!
