Imgaine my surprise when I check the comments from the last post and I get a link to a photo that a reader claims is a clean Gen.
I know my horse, and he is NEVER clean so of course I eagerly clicked it and check it out…

Clean Gen!
Thank you Sarah!!!! I don’t know how you did it, but I love it. It makes me very happy to see a clean pony, even if the cleanness is totally fake. My hope to give him a bath before the next snow storm has been dashed because it looks like we are getting another one tonight. At least now I have a pretty picture of my fuzz ball! Thank you again Sarah!!

oooo…I wanna clean pony too!!! I also have a yellow er white horse. Made the mistake and took her blanket off the day before we scheduled to trail ride (the temps were warm enough not to warrant a blanket)…imagine my shock to find her the next day covered in mud…..aaaa to own a white horse. She doesn’t lay down or roll that often…only when I’d her to be clean.
You’re welcome! The answer to how I did it – Photoshop and lots and lots of layers.
Glad I could help. I love reading your blog, so when I saw the photo I’m like ‘Hey! That’s something I can help with!’
I had fun doing it. If Gen needs a virtual bath in any other fantastic photos just let me know.
That is a damn good photoshop job. If you didn’t tell me it was fake, I never would have guessed. While we’re at it, can we shop straight legs onto Ozzy?
Now if only there was a way to translate that to real life – so that instead of scrubbing my gray beast with quicksilver to try to get him some shade of clean I could just keep adding layers with the click of a mouse.
Hmm actually I see some fun.. I think I am going to photoshop some spots on a pic of the Boomerang and see what he would look like as an appaloosa
Great idea and great job on the pic Sarah!
If only it was that easy getting my horses clean!
What gorgeous pictures! I hope your going to frame some of them!
Clean is cool, even if it is fake. At least you have visions of what’s to come. LOL
