Emma was looking like a sad little dirtball today. Since the snow's melted and the weather's improving, it also means that Emma spends her days either rolling or laying in dirt and mud and it can really get caked on.. so here are some before/after shots!

Emma at first.. note the dirt on belly, rear hip, and knotted/dreadlocked mane.



And Emma when I was done! I gave her a bath in the dirty areas using warm water and a bucket; too chilly yet at 60 degrees for the hose. I plan on working at the dirt gradually, daily; it was realllly caked on there.

And the mane event! Check out that slick, smooth mane and forelock! I am so proud.
