MODern Bath for BIG BOY
The Beatles started the long-hair fad , James Bond started the spy fad , in fact you may be able to think of thousands who in some way have been involved in sweeping the nation with some sort of fad . But when you are counting those thousands and begin to run out of names , add Melvin ( Andy ) Waugh of Hiddenite , North Carolina .
Andy may be the originator of a new fad among Walking Horse people . He has put to use the currently popular coin-operated car wash to bathe his stallion BIG BOY . Andy simply slips a quarter into the slot and showers BIG BOY with a jet of water . The whole procedure takes only a few minutes and the results offer a pleasant surprise .
BIG BOY , a grandson of MIDNIGHT SUN , seems to enjoy his unique hosing-down as he stands quietly until he is completely clean and ready for any show . The horse ’ s placid disposition may stem from the fact that he is used to being around children and is very gentle , even to the point of stopping when he feels a young rider losing his balance .
Washing your walking horse in a coin-operated car wash may not sweep the nation as a fad , but you must admit it has its possibilities !
