Kalina with Karioka before she took exception to being washed with a hose.
The best way to prepare a horse to accept water on its body, is to get the horse quite hot in the first place. This morning Kalina was driven with Bali, Karioka, and Kelly.
The farm location for these horses ia absolutely perfect for access to good wide tracks.
After their drive, the other three horses were washed within sight of Kalina, and Kalina herself accepted a sponge bath with cold water. Progress! Darn it, I wasn't there myself but I have got a video...
