Matt, meet clippers

Went back out and played with Ben & Max in their stalls. Trying to get them really used to me being along side them. As I was refilling Max's water bucket, he reached out and snuffled me. I was petting his face when I noticed that he has warts coming in. Oh great, warts. Those things'll spread to every young horse on my place.

After I was done giving the colts in the barn their hay and water I went out to the pasture where Matt & Aaron are. Caught Matt and brought him to the barn. Tied him up and gave him a session with the clippers. Just started off rubbing them on his neck, gradually moving up to his mane. Once he was standing nice and quiet with that I did his bridle path. Not a professional job, but it's a good start for his first time. I left it at that, don't want to worry him too much with them.
When I was done clipping I put Matt in a box stall in the barn. My kids have 4-H lessons tomorrow evening and I might just bring Matt with me. He loads not too bad.
Here's Matt. That one corner is always wet because my mini mule, Mocha, likes to spill her water pails. Like the clip job?
