Dirt Bath
Uploaded: December 06, 2011 11:14:53
Immediately after being unsaddled the horses would take a "Dirt Bath". Being hot, sweaty and likely itchy from the saddles nothing feels better to our equine fellows than a good roll in the dirt. Caught these two cowboys watching as the horse frolicked during his "Dirt Bath"

Great shot Emile, love how the guys are watching the horse. I have 3 horses and they LOVE their dirt bath, even if they've not been ridden. #9851329Joannie Bertucci December 06, 2011

Now this is something we don't see every day! How neat, Emile! :D I had a kitty (Pookey) that loved doing this, too. He'd roll in dry dirt until we couldn't recognize him!!This is terrific!
