Whenever I post pictures of my horses, I inevitably get a few comments about how clean they always look. So here's my grooming secret, which sounds just like today's weather forecast: south to southwest winds of 25 to 40 mph with gusts up to 50 or 55 mph. Blows the dirt right off them.
Great to see you back, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI also like the bigger picture. It really shows off that beautiful spot where you live. I'm looking foward to wonderful pictures this summer.
Best always, Sandra
Aha!
ReplyDeleteI love the photos, and the new look here at 7MSN. I confess I forgot you'd said you were taking the site down to re-design, and tried to come for a visit. It said I hadn't been invited to join 7MSN and I had a mild panic! :)
Whew! Glad you're all back.
HA ... I guess that would do it!
ReplyDeleteWhen you had your weather forecast on your previous site I was always amazed at your winds.
My horses should be clean as a whistle today...winds are howling outside this morning. :(
ReplyDeleteWe have the same winds, why aren't our horses this clean??! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the first photo, beautiful!
Great groomer, I'm always partial to a good hard rain to wash off the dirt for me, as long as they don't go roll in the mud afterwards.
ReplyDeleteSure wish the wind worked like that in our favor! We've got mud, mud and wet clay - which sticks like glue and makes them look like statues when it dries. Smells lovely too :)
ReplyDeletewe'd bathe our horses and they'd just go roll in the dirt and mud!! but you say the New Mexico winds keep yours clean.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful photos! With this wider format, I really get a sense of the wide open spaces you enjoy there. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMy horses should ALL be clean today! The mountains have had terrific winds yesterday and more are forecast for today! LOVE the new look!
ReplyDeleteWell, mystery solved! Now I know where all that dust in my living room comes from when the wind blows. It's horsey-dirt from 7MSN, just a little bit west of here.
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to your photos, they are beautiful, love your grooming tip!
ReplyDeleteGeeesh.......and sure beats standing there with a brush in your hand or a blow dryer or using elbow grease! But, and I warn you, do NOT stand downwind when Mother Nature decides to groom your horse......ahhhh choooo!
ReplyDeleteI like the new look! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteMother Nature, doing your job for you again :) Love it!
You're lucky you have so much wind to blow the dirt off of them.
ReplyDeleteFunny! Our horses are very muddy, it has been raining here for three days!
ReplyDeleteI am loving the big pictures!
Loving the new bigger pictures!!
ReplyDeleteThis must be why my horses are always so clean during a wind storm!
ReplyDeleteGotta love those pictures! It is so beautiful there!
I love the big pix, but - maybe it's just me - it takes a lot longer to load. Not to worry, I'll wait, but thought you'd like to know.
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!!!!
