You scratch my back...

...and I'll scratch yours...

and then I'll scratch yours too.

The horses have been practically living in two heavy rugs each recently. I take advantage of a lull in the wind, rain and frost to get their backs out into the sunshine whenever I can. They take advantage of this to take turns grooming each other.

Just what a winter coat cloistered in canvas needs - fresh air, basking in the sun and a good rub down from a friend.
