There is always someone around offering to “help”.  Today I was vacuuming my shed out and I suddenly thought “I wonder if I could vacuum off the horses’ winter coats. It would be so useful” and something I’ve never tried before.

And a little known fact, Iacs and Kolka do not want to be vacuumed.  They both rushed off saying the noise was too much.  Haakon, on the other hoof, stood stock still, had a look back at me and my machine, told me I was mad, but he never moved away and quite enjoyed it, I think.

Sadly the vacuum wasn’t much use – it didn’t work as well as I wanted it to, though, which was a shame. I could saved loads of time from all that brushing.

Never mind, I tried.  So back to brushing it is or maybe they could do it themselves.

On my way back into the house, I vacuumed Monster too but we all know he likes that.  So an interesting “experiment” today.  Knowledge is power and knowing I can vacuum Haakon if required is useful.

(Pepper lives in a constant state of war with the vacuum so we don’t go there.)
