Before...

Here's Miata - she's a 25 year old Chicoteague pony mare, and here she's in the last straggly stages of her winter coat, and has had a wonderful time getting covered in mud:

When she gets through shedding (and the mud's brushed off), she's a palomino paint with the most gorgeous dark copper (dappled!) spots.  I've looked after her since she was eight, and owned her since she was ten.  She's shed out now, so i'll see if i can't catch a good picture of her when she's actually clean, so you can compare.
