Sounds good & quite likely, but I still like to believe that my gray is
just a pig.  If there isn't a muddy spot, he'll paw and make one, then
roll so that he is covered everywhere.  He's the only horse I know that
pushes off with his forehead for the flip over.  He <always> has dirt
bewteen his eyes.
