The horses like spring mud. They like it more than Nancy does... There's nothing like a good roll in the mud to cake the stuff onto your body and that in turn will pull out the winter hair and speed up the shedding process. It will also ensure that the person grooming the horse looks like Pigpen from Charlie Brown, but never mind... At the end of the process, the fields have dried up, and the horses are slick and shiny once more.
Madam and Bailey were enjoying a little quality time, scratching each other's backs -- that little itchy patch that the horse just cannot reach on their own. This is the origin of that old saying, and the horses spend quite a bit of time helping each other out!
