well horses here, go in ecstasy over a bath. if a horse hates a bath, when they come here, it only takes one or two rides in horrible heat and humidity before they begin to catch on that its the most wonderful thing in the world, a cool water rinse off of all the sweat and relief from the heat and bugs. So when a horse wont stand for it, I know something's wrong! When Tivar came here he hated a bath and would just dance like crazy trying to avoid the water spray, so I worked on desinsitization, advance retreat, it worked somewhat, but then my nozzle broke and i got a new one and it had a "bubbler" option and when I put it on that he started liking his baths haha so I aint THAT smart :) Janice -- even good horses have bad days sometimes.
