29.4.12
After all the rain of the past week, the sun came out at last. I enjoyed a long doze in the warmth while my owner fussed round me getting rid of all the mud and dirt.
I was slightly worried when I learned that she had put pig oil in my mane. Now, I have nothing against pigs but I don't really want them all over my hair - but she assured me no pig had been harmed in the making of the oil.
Even better, I wasn't ridden this weekend. So here I am on my way to the field to enjoy the rest of the day in peace. It may be sunny and warm, but the field is still wet and muddy. . . .
My owner may be in for a shock when she sees me tomorrow!

Pig oil? I've never heard of that! What does it do and does it smell of pigs? I hope not!
ReplyDeleteIt's not from pigs, don't worry, though why it's called that I don't know. Apparently, pig owners cover pigs in it before a show. Makes them shine! Lots of horse owners use it on the horses' feathers, manes and tails. It's not as sticky as baby oil. It has no smell either!
ReplyDeleteOh, I see! I must get some. Thanks for that.
