My Faberge loves being bathed... obviously being the diva-princess-pony that she is she knows it will leave her looking even prettier.... But puddles have sharks and crocodiles in them! IN fact I remember taking her swimming one spring through the floods by us, they were seriously deep and she loved it, splashing around then swimming home. On the way home, absolutely dripping wet, she nearly deposited me on the floor....by spooking at a tiny PUDDLE at the side of the road...ironic eh!?
Phoebe is quite happy to stand to be bathed or sponged down - even better if there is some nice hay to munch on!! She wasn't that thrilled about her forelock being done though!!
She happily goes through puddles and streams if asked - although I think if i didn't direct her into them, she'd probably shuffle round the edge!!
She has started on her first paddling sessions in the sea which she has accepted with no problems - only a small bounce when her 'wingman' (OH on his bike) turned to head back up the beach when she wasn't looking, we turned around and she realised he was gone and up went the tail!!
Ari LOVES a bath and i always use warm waterHe also likes to drink from the hose(and swing it about) if given the chance. Would love to get him to the beach sometime
