| Did I ever tell you I happen to LOVE this horse?! I don't think I have ever had a more affectionate horse in my life. Truly, she could spend all day just being hugged and petted and fussed over. That's a good thing since it really does take me ALL day to "Fluff" her. I have to unbraid all those braids, brush her thoroughly, bathe that giant body and shampoo her mane and tail....I tell you it's like washing a school bus! Then I have to walk her out to get her at least a little dry and then the real "fun" begins......RE-braiding all those braids! Cinderella's mane is now 42 inches long on both sides. So you figure, 7 braids on each side of her neck, makes 14 braids, each one being at least 40 inches long....yikes, that's 560 inches of braided hair! No wonder I'm tired by the end of the day! But my sweet, sweet girl is worth every minute. She is so patient, and as long as there's hay in front of her, she doesn't really care what you do. I tell you, when you remember this magnificent mare was facing the possibility of being slaughtered.....well, It sure puts things in perspective, doesn't it. | |
