Diego's first bath

[GypsyMoonMinis]

Kind of pic heavy, I just couldn't decide which ones to post! My daughter and I gave Diego his first bath today. He was a champ as he is with everything. He and his sister (my profile pic) have the most amazing personalities. He's still in a rough clip from earlier this year, but I trimmed his tail, clipped his bridle path and thinned his frizzy forelock. First real nice weather we've had in months so we took advantage of it. He's a yearling, can't wait to see how he develops over the next few years.

Just for comparison, this is what he looked like in March.

And today:

He's over-stretched here but I thought it was a nice picture. Don't mind the neighbors bright orange chicken fence lol...

All of my horses know tricks, and I like to take thier natural behavior and shape it into things they enjoy doing. Diego learned how to "Smile" and "kiss" yesterday

Hugging my daughter (and looking for treats of course lol)

And of course, had to roll as soon as he was turned out

Thanks for letting me share!
