Coming Out

Horse hair, that is.

Melody and Cupcake have been shedding for over a month. The last few days' hot weather has really brought the hair out. I've gone over both of them with the shedding blade many times, clipped parts of Cupcake, and watched both mares help each other shed.

Cupcake: Is this low enough?

Melody: A little lower, please. Ahhhhhh—that's good.

Melody: Sheesh, Cupcake! You ought to use some Nair.

Melody: Uh-oh, Cupcake. We're being watched. Hey! Could we have a little privacy?

Of course, there's a downside to this: mustaches. Here's Cupcake's mustache:


And here's Melody's:

Or maybe they're marestaches?
