"Brush, brush, brush brush, comb, comb. comb, comb. All girls who to brush and comb should have a pet like this at home."

That is what kept going though my head as I was finally combing out Sweetwater's tail. 1/4 bottle of baby oil and 45 minutes later it was done. I also loaded her all the way on and backed her off the horse trailer. This was more tricky than the livestock trailer because we have a tack stall at the back so the opening for the horse is only 1/2 the width of the trailer. She walked right on with the front feet then lunged forward to jump on with the back ones. This put her much more forward than I was wanting because it meant further to back off. After a little hesitation she went ahead and started backing and unloaded like a pro.

She sure has come around and is even prettier without all those knots!!
makes me think of My little pony
But what a BEAUTIFUL tail she has - well worth that work. I'm so happy she's doing well; it may not sound like much to some, but knowing her story with you I can appreciate that the little things ARE the big things for some horses. Lucky Sweetwater, to have met you.
You are really bringing out the beauty in her.
