So um... I did a thing. . . Polkadot is a saint! This is only the second time clippers have ever touched her body, as I was the first to body clip her (I confirmed that when I talked to the person who trained her, after I did it of course lol) about two years ago when I first got her. That was a full body clip. On top of that, I had only seen people do patterns like this, but I really wanted to try it. So this is the first time I've ever done anything like this before. I did draw on her in sharpie a guide for myself to follow, so this is not complete free hand. Maybe one day, but not the first time ever doing it. . Then after it was done, I walked her up to the house so Carolyn could see the results. After surprising her with polkadot at her front door, we took a different route back to the paddocks. One including stairs. Polkadot has never walked on stairs. She has loaded and unloaded into a trailer, which has one step, but this was three. She carefully placed each foot and got down the steps calmly. This horse is worth way more than I could ever imagine. I thank the universe for every day I have with her. She is one in a billion. . . . #horse #cool #shavedfur #bodyclipping #polkadot #adventure https://www.instagram.com/p/CUtblCkF21K/?utm_medium=tumblr
