'Twas the day before the show ...

Our local horse show is on tomorrow, and we're going.

No, not Gally and I. Sabina and Tornado. Yes, off to the show to have a go at competing and seeing what it's all about.

So we bring Tornado in, and out comes the hose. Sabina does a great job in getting the pony wet. We only suffer a passing shower.

Then it's onto shampoo and sponge as she takles the body, while I scrub the mane and tail.

She leaves the hosing off to me. Then we squeegee him, dry off with towel, and wrap him in rugs.
