I know I’ve mentioned this before…

…..but it warrants another comment or two…….

Clydesdale’s are hairy creatures…….!

And I don’t know why or what the purpose is of all of the extra fur…….?

I was leading Claire up for the vet the other day…….

…..and I just couldn’t resist snapping these pictures…….

…..her mustache was just so pretty and pristine and curly and ample…….!

Clydesdales and Shires have beautiful and luxurious feathers…..(that need A LOT of constant scrubbing and cleaning)

I really don’t have the time…….

On any given day, I probably haven’t even brushed my own hair…….

…..maybe I’ve brushed my teeth…….

…..maybe not…

But the chin hair and the belly/mid-line hair…….

…..not to mention the hair hanging off their hind leg hamstrings…….!

You know, usually there is a purpose to Mother Nature’s evolution with animals (and us)…

I’ve been told that in future thousands or millions of years that we will no longer have our little toes or fingers, as they aren’t really necessary…….

…..okay…..I get that…….

…..so…..why do Clydesdales’ have mustaches?…….

…..to filter their soup when they sip it out of a tureen…….?

…..I could understand needing the leg feathers…..maybe…..if they lived in a very brushy/scrubby area and it was for leg protection…….

…..but a mustache?…….?
