Ridecamp: [RC] Sheath Cleaning

Well, y'all inspired me.

After spending a good bit of the last 24 hours laughing at all the accounts
of sheath cleaning, I went out and cleaned my boy's dangly wobblies.

It went really well.  I'd bought a bottle of Excalibur in the spring,
meaning to use it on him, but kept putting it off.  So, I got that out and
hauled a big bucket of hot water out to the paddock.  I mixed it with cold,
so it was a nice warm temp, got a small sponge and went to work.  He
wouldn't drop, but he didn't have a real problem with me going in after it.

He had a bean in there the size of a large marble.

He also taught me that he'd prefer that I used the warm water rather than
the straight cold.  :)

So after I was done with him, I put him in a pen with some graze as a treat
for being good.  He walked over to the corner for a pee and I swear to you,
the look on his face was priceless when he didn't get pee all over his feet.

Now,  if I could only get over this compulsive hand washing. . . (they don't
smell, I just keep finding myself washing them over and over and over).
