Provo looking somewhat more clean
than normal. It only took four shampooings
of his mane and tail. Unfortunately, he wasn't
keen on forelock or insides of ears being done,
so they stayed their "normal" colour.

I need to somehow dampen the noise the clip
makes on the end of his Spring Tie, since it
jangles a little. And also make another quick
release for it further down. Talking with Jim
Mitchell at the Convention, he mentioned that
if the horse gets in trouble and puts the Spring
Tie under load, as soon as you release it, it
could fly up and then fly down and whack you
on the head. Wrong. So I need to be able to
get further away from it if needs be.

Otherwise, I really like it. Provo can wriggle
around to his heart's content and gawp at
stuff.

I also need to dampen the noise made by the
big metal snap on his hay bag, since he bangs
around with that during the night.
