They're not as dirty as some of the bays though (one black bay loves looking like a buckskin because of orange clay dirt! And he is talented, gets an even coat of mud all the way around).

The grey horses here all turn an orangey brown and it is gross. It doesn't come out either. Bay all the way for me. She is a bit of a princess though and stays mostly clean even living outside 24/7. Pete on the other hand is a disgusting pig. He has mud encrusted all over him at all times. Good thing he is already mud colored.

No-rinse shampoo was my friend in the winter at shows. I'm hoping to have it a little easier with Cinna, she seems less inclined to roll than my previous greys! And she's still dark enough to camouflage it for now, haha.
