Frodo's always been known for his love of rolling in mud and last year's terrible weather led to him becoming the muddiest he'd ever been!
Last winter it rained continuously from December until February and he never dried out enough to be brushed properly...when it eventually stopped raining we finally extracted the pony from the mud! Frodo would pick the worst, muddiest parts to roll in...the parts that all the other ponies avoid. I think maybe part of him knows that it's too dangerous for ponies to be mostly white...white wild mustangs foals are always the first to be eaten! Best to adopt some sort of colour change! None of the other ponies choose to be that muddy and they don't even have to go out in it if they don't want to...they can always stay in the yard, barn or field shelter but I think Frodo thought that mud was more fun!
The calendar also features a lovely photo of Peter with Frodo in the spring once he was clean again!
This year Frodo's actually stayed fairly clean, to his credit! He HATES having a bath but has to put up with it once a year for his outing to St John's Fair in June.
