I’m quite partial to small things bossing big thngs about. I do it all the time…
Thorfinn’s a real honest big-hearted pony, isn’t he. Can you actually tell if he prefers being unrugged? The first thing a horse likes to do when the rug has been removed is have a good roll, which suggests the answer is ‘Yes’.

I know what you mean about small things bossing large things about … Little Brownie, muscovy duck, likes to give Mindy her marching orders sometimes - much bobbing of heads and wielding of wings there … :- )

‘Rugging’ is the term for putting a rug (jacket) on a horse to keep him clean, warm and / or dry.

What a brilliant post! Thorfinn the Magnificent. And Sigurd the Supercute. He sounds very intelligent. What a lot of hard work you put in with them, too. They do you proud!

What’s rugging, please? (My thick layers of fat are keeping me warm too, by the way… :lol:)
