Q: Why does my pony roll after a bath?

A: Great question! When your pony rolls after a bath, it’s usually not because they’re trying to undo your hard work (even though it feels like it!). Ponies roll to dry off faster, regulate their body temperature, or just because it feels good. After a bath, they might feel chilly or too clean — and rolling in the dust or grass helps them feel more like themselves again. If you don’t want your freshly washed pony turning into a mud monster, try walking them in the sun until they’re dry — and keep them out of sandy or grassy areas until then!
