Baby Bedrooms ready. Stallion make-over not so successful

Martin and I had a very productive morning getting the foaling boxes ready, so the broodmares can move into their "baby bedrooms" at night. The boxes have been scrubbed and disinfected, deep straw beds have been laid, and the cameras are up-and-running.
Feeling enthusiastic for all things equine, I decided I would give King, our bay roan stallion, a bit of a groom. Not a single brush has touched him since the farrier came 8 weeks ago. It didn't take long for my enthusiasm to wane. As you can see from the picture, he is taking "roughed-off for the Winter" to a whole new level. I can't imagine any mare will be impressed by that look. Scruffy boy!!!
