Red, Lipizzaner's are beautiful horses and I'm sure they smell good.

Aren't deer colorblind? They may not know the difference?

 

[canesisters]

Color blind or not - they can tell dark from light. (like on a black and white movie, you can tell that people are wearing different color clothes).

Red - back when I worked at the riding stable, I would stash my gloves in a bag in the closet so that I could smell the horses during the few winter months that they were closed.

Mary is right the horses must have been well groomed they where snow white.

@ninnymary - did you know that they are usually born dark and gradually lighten up as they grow?

Some of them stay dark - which is still LOVELY!

And - like other superstars - they are only magnificent while on stage. Otherwise, they scratch their butts just like any other horse.

Cane how often did you bathed your horse? I have a lucky kentucky mame and tail shampoo I use on dogs.

 

[canesisters]

Whenever they needed it. Usually 2 or 3 times during the summer and one time just before winter set in. I used Murphey's Oil soap. Smelled good, didn't irritate their skin. Use it on the dogs too.

 

[ninnymary]

Well Cane, I didn't know that. Thank you for educating me!

I use dawn dishwashing soap on really dirty dogs. Cuts through the oils on hair.
