A lil' poem for CC and her crew! In fields where wildflowers kiss the sky, Lives tiny Nigel, with a coat freshly shorn, A little horse with a giant glint of mischief and distain in his eye, Trotting away lighter, since the winter coat’s long gone. His kitty cat barn sister named Tiny, hovers over him like a small, but mighty bodyguard, With playful headbutts, she greets him each morn, Together with all their siblings, under Clever Girl's TLC, Their antics a dance, beautifully adorned. From Montana's plains to many continents afar, Clever Girl's voice bridges vast distances with grace, Connecting tales of four-legged friends that enter our lives and daily thoughts, Each story a thread in the tapestry she shares. So here’s to Nigel and Tiny, and the entire cast of beloved horses and Huckleberry too, that soak in the snuggles and scratches like the royalty critters that they are, And with every video, she captures hearts everywhere, Through her stories, the love clearly speaks, Uniting us all through a peak into heaven and never ending but somehow mesmerizing chores. Making the world a better place by instilling us with hope. What a gift that keeps on giving!
OH NIGEL - He looks really clean & gorgeous, even after rolling in his paddock! His mane & tail look beautiful....fluffy & white! I think NIGEL's mission in life for humans is to teach Patience, and you win the Blue Ribbon and a Gold Star!! God bless.....😊❤
Nigel was at the end of his road, unwanted, unhealthy, suffering, and cruelly neglected. Not many people would have taken him in. What you have done for him, showering him with affection, kindness, and the best care at considerable expense while asking and expecting nothing of him, actually brings tears to my eyes.❤
Oh Nigel ❤ Whatever his lifestory is, he has reached a point in his life that he has no use for humans and is over our BS 😅❤ Ponies live a tough life, Nigel is lucky to have a soft landing for his old age ❤
Horses like Nigel, as naughty and grumpy as they are, always manage to worm their way into your heart. I really enjoyed this video of Nigel's grooming drama as well as the reaction of the other horses. Your knowledge and ability to meet the needs of each individual herd member is truly awesome. ❤
You and Nigel have a very unique relationship. You, the doting. loving, concerned mama, him, the crotchety older child who doesn't want to be fussed over. You guys are hilarious and I'm always so happy to see how kind and patient you are with him and all of the horses.
"Nigel! Ur just getting washed"!😂 What a lil pisser!😂🐎👍🏽 Reminds me of when my boys were toddlers-running thru the house bare ass naked happy as Hell covered in bubbles! 😂
We had an ancient pony when I was a kid. We called him our pasture goblin,and he ruled the entire place. I’m so glad this little stinker landed with you. He’s living the life all horses deserve. Love your videos. They make me homesick in the best way. Thank you for doing what you do
I see a t-shirt that says “Nigel…NiGel… NIGEL” in increasing font size. Of course it has a heart on it as well. He seems perfectly content. He has friends when needed, activity as tolerated… Nigel is living his best life. I personally thank you so much for giving him that love these two years!
How wonderful that you will spoil him to the end, you are a wonderful owner to all those you provide habitat for. Thanks for allowing me to share your work.
Despite having to weather all the grooming, feeding, blanketing and vet visits, Nigel seems to have about as good a retirement as a pony could ever get.
I love this cantankerous little grump so much. The way he was showing off for Prim killed me, I didn't think anything would be funnier than Scarlett watching the bath shenanigans but I was wrong lol. I hope Nigel stays strong and has great quality of life for a long time to come.
I know the voiceover takes time, but it really makes the videos great. So calming yet so clearly stating the personality of the horses which makes a non-horse person much more aware. You read them so well and then put it into words for my simple human brain! Nigel just wants to show you what good shape he is in!!
I honestly don't know how real influencers do it. I am never clean, the horses barely make it through their baths, only to roll in turds minutes later. I guess that's real life for ya!
The heart on his rump is so elegant. His antics are so hilarious - but frustrating to see you working so hard and he is not cooperating. Thank you for showing us all you do for the wonderful little woolly mammoth. When his hair was up - he was truly a punk rocker.
Nigel has so much pride that he refuses to concede to ANYONE or anything . Look at him prancing around like a peacock, in spite of pain, blindness and old age. I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for his attitude. Thank you for helping him, I bet he is grateful, but doesn’t know how to express anything but contempt 🤷♀️🙏🕊️❤️
Wow! Little Nigel has in indeed become " huge " with us all. When you're small and male both, it can be quite a challenge. Imagine his feelings when having to deal with others larger than him. He shows us he has courage, spirit, pride, and just wants to be acknowledged. He does love you Clever Cowgirl, just he can't show you right now. Sometimes matters of the heart are easier if left disguised, especially in his world where everything is a challenge to his character. Your love, your kindness, your patience, and extraordinary awareness of his health issues are such a blessing to this little guy. You and Nigel have truly captured my heart and so many others watching. I think we can say we learned from Nigel's reactions , that he definitely is telling the world, " I may be small, but I still will have the last decision. " That is BIG!
Rewatching this, I must say those new clippers are da bomb. Do not throw away the dull blades. Contact the manufacturer to ask about sharpening. Ask about local sharpening services at the local livestock products retailers. It's a lot cheaper than new blades.
This process is giving me flashbacks from taking care of a Shetland over 50 years ago. He was an intact male who, I would wager, was the most cantankerous equine in the course of human history.
I enjoy every video but especially the ones about Nigel. It warms my heart to know he's being spoiled even though he doesn't like it. It's a beautiful life for him, safe and protected in your care. 🥰
I know the voiceover take time, but it really makes the videos great. So calming yet so clearly stating the personality of the horses which makes a non-horse person much more aware. You read them so well and then put it into words for my simple human brain!
Our little mini got colic tonight, we have been up all night, he is over 30, and the spunkiest little dude you will ever meet, he loves horses, always the boss, he loves his humans more, he taught all my children to ride, my eldest is about to turn 21, he isn’t an animal, he is apart of the family, a brother, a son a grandchild, a nephew…. He is holding on atm, but never take for granted the things you have, because like a blink of the eye the could be gone x
Nigel is your challenge child. He’s just a sweetie. His mane shows his angelic side. Please continue to spoil that spunky pony. Glad you got the new clippers; they worked well, didn’t they? CC, just remember: Nigel is the boss!❤
Watching C.C.’s videos are always a pleasure while hearing the different kinds music she subtly infuses, but most often I am impressed with her abundance of patience she shows no matter the task. If there is any one characteristic to emulate and highlight, her patience is the one I witness each time I visit. It does challenge my own ability to keep pace with C.C. who is a teacher I learn from each visit.
Nigel is such a sweet problem child. He looked so pretty before his mud bath. Really liked his tie-up mane-do when you were shaving him. That fluff crown was perfect. You could have left it. How lucky he is to have you caring for him. Love ya both!
Aww, I love Nigel. Great name for such a sparky little chap. So glad you rescued him and he can have a great life with all your love and attention to detail to keep him at his best, feeling full of himself and enjoying life.
Nigel's "respectable hairdo" was really quite alarming. I wish he didn't hate you. It would make his life so much easier. Thank you for all you do for Nigel and the rest of your animals.
I loved the crazy hair and blue tinged tail LOL! I also don't think 'hate' is the right word. Nigel is a stallion which makes him willful and he just prefers to do as he pleases. This situation is more like a woman trying to drag a man along when going purse shopping, he just doesn't want to do all that unpleasant crap. If she had him do things he super loves 10 times in a row on the next 10 catches, I bet he'd come faster the 11th time, part of it is the unpleasant activities of the last few times are fresh in his mind, he's basically saying no, don't wanna go 'purse shopping!' Also he likes his corral so he doesn't want to risk getting put in that boring old stall, he'd rather freeze do death instead LOL! Unfortunately if she has to be careful with his diet, she can't just bribe him with some carrots a lot either. I wonder if he likes walks, she might be able to reward him with those instead. It's harder if you can't find anything that can be used as a bribe. If he doesn't expect to get anything super fun out of it, then he has no reason to let her grab him.
Just subscribed after watching Nigel's story. Your amazing care and love are really showing. You're so knowledgeable and gentle. Thank you for sharing your lives with us! The pIace you live is gorgeous. I know nothing about horses unfortunately, so your explanation really help me understand how they feel or why you do something. I wish your channel much success and I wish you and your furry friends many years of joy and health.
I absolutely adore watching you and Nigel together ❤. He has such a big attitude for such a little guy and he loves to strut his stuff and show everyone that he’s the top king. I cracked up laughing at his punk rock look, I actually sprayed my Furkid with water 🤣🤣. The love and concern that you have for all of your horses is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us and I hope and pray that Nigel has many more years to spend with you and us.
Nigel is beautiful trotting about with his mane and tail floating in the breeze he creates. Isè he feel free and rid if the coat that for him might br like us shedding our five pound winter coat because it is over warm. We might feel "exposed" without our convient cover up that could hide our true shape. When my snow packs were traded for learger hiking boots in spring my total weight loss of winter gear was about 15 lbs. My feet felt light and springy. Freedom. I imagine Nigel experienced something similar. Joy and like a man with a newly shaved winter beard gone. Too cute he is. Did you ever think he has not ever been fussed over like tgis his entire life? 😊🎉❤🎉😂 life is better for this little horse. He knows it too. Great job CC!🎉
I groom my standard poodles and came across a slipper blade cooling trick. The spray you are using now works but not for long. Get yourself a chinchilla cooling pad. It works so great and not very costly. I have 3 of each size blade so there is always a cool blade ready for use.
OMG! Nigel is so damn cute! Even though he maybe old he still reminds me of a small child! Being sassy, you give him a nice bath and he just has to roll in the dirt!!😂 He knows he's got you wrapped around his little hoof!!😂 Happy 4th of July! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with your animals. If humans could only treat each other with love and kindness the way you treat your horses, what a wonderful world we would live in! Love, kisses and hugs to you and your beautiful animals. 😘❤️🤗 God Bless you.
You did a beautiful job with Nigel. You really are very good to him. He looks and acts so good and so healthy. You're taking really good care of that old guy. I'm so proud of you. You're such a kind and sweet person He is very lucky that he got you
Wonder if Nigel was not harmed by water/a hose before, hence, his adversion to it. Nigel is a prancing little prince, protecting his own space. Lucky he found you and vice versa. Skeletor is a stunning looking horse thanks to your care.
Nigel is just too cute girl! Your narration also is wonderful, I feel like your fur babies are like mine too! Just wish I could get some horsey smell thru the video!! Ha ha ha 😂
“We're only making plans for Nigel We only want what's best for him We're only making plans for Nigel Nigel just needs that helping hand” - XTC, Making plans for Nigel Looking forward for this video! ❤
@@Knucklehead123 Yeah, me too! CC used it in one of her shorts and I thought I recognized it as I’m an old fan of XTC! And now you guys know how old I am!🤣
Nigel is an uppity little blighter, for sure. He and all the other miscreants are so lucky that you look beyond their personalities and problems and delight in them anyway. And, even more importantly, continue to feed them so well, and keep a careful and knowledgeable eye on tweaking their dietary and emotional needs. I can only imagine how exhausted you are after dealing with the trials and tribulations of shaving off Nigel's wooly winter coat, bathing him, while trying to keep Skeletor calm so he continues to heal. I know you love them all anyway, but sometimes they do not make any of their care easy. (At least none of the geldings escaped today :) They are a bunch of very lucky, loveable misfits. Thank you for all you do for them and for sharing them with us.
Nigel is a strong willed old guy. Did I mention that he is good looking and know it? Your patience is exemplary with all those horses put you through. Well done! 👍❤
Ever since I saw a video with Nigel in it, I can’t but every time get reminded of my little old dog, twelve years now. They are so alike, my dog and Nigel. The hair in their eyes, misschieve glinting there, And the absolute determination Not to get groomed, pampered och anything else that they can’t deside for themselves. When you chase Nigel in his pen it feels like I’m shasing my dog through the apartment. He knows my every move even when I try and hide it. He’s the smartest dog I ever had, and I had a few very smart ones, but he tops them all. But then he is a cross between a chihuahua and som sort of small terrier and as street smart as any mott in the town. And like Nigel and other mini horses seem to be, my dog is the most dangerous 😅 dog I ever had and I have concluded it’s because he’s small and awfully cute. He’s the Only dog I ever had that has been so curled and pampered that I sometimes think he’s more a cat than a dog, and maybe he was in his previous life, haha. My heart melts every time I see Nigel looking through his mane and trotting like a king in his pen. You have a wonderful life with all the beautiful horses and stunning Nigel. ❤❤
Nigel has a regalness about him. I really never noticed until this video. I’ve watched nearly all of your videos, but it seemed I never noticed that about him until this one. He’s so cute prancing around his pen after his clipping and bath!😊
Beautiful Nigel! He does not look his age, you have done a wonderful job ! Thank you for sharing this and thank you for sharing this great video and for the information about horses dietary needs! I hope you have a great day! PS Skelly and Studman look awesome , too!!!
@TheCleverCowgirl-CC you do such an amazing job with all of your Horses. Nigel and Skelton are two of my Favorites!!! Thank you for sharing All of the interesting information! You are Awesome. CC! And Tiny and Huckleberry are Adorable. Just like all of your animals! Nigel looks so Handsome and Young. What a Funny Boy Nigel Is!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐎🐎🐈🐕🐴🐴🐴
You may may have tried these already, but just in case you haven't...a couple of suggestions: 1. A bank of three clippers will allow you to be using one while the other two cool off. 2. He may prefer a hose with a gentle "flower shower" sprayer on it, like garden centers use to water their plants. He looks beautiful after his "spa day. " Skeletor has such a beautiful trot.
I love watching your videos. Sometimes I have to take a break. My emotions get high in the winter. I miss my husband and his horses so much. It's 12 years this year. I also miss all the smells. I still have his roping saddle. I need to clean it again just from it sitting and getting dusty and dry from the heat. I keep it in the house. Lol. People think im strange keeping a big saddle in my living room and not a horse in sight and with my old bone situation I can only ride very gentle horses. I don't live very close to anywhere to ride too so it's not often I get to ride. I live in the country in TN. When young I really tried to get my husband to move to Montana. Now that the cold is so hard on me Im glad Im still in the south. But I've always thought it is so beautiful there. You have the perfect spot with your view of the mountains. I'm so glad I found your channel. Nigel is my favorite. He reminds me of a pony my husband rehabed and gave to our oldest granddaughter when she was three. The two oldest grands are the only two who got to spend lots of time with their PopPop and the horses. There's a picture of Brook when she was 2 leading Lucy across the field. Steve was close by but cropped out of the picture. He was proud as a peacock. Much love and blessings from Tennessee. ❤
A lil' poem for CC and her crew!
In fields where wildflowers kiss the sky,
Lives tiny Nigel, with a coat freshly shorn,
A little horse with a giant glint of mischief and distain in his eye,
Trotting away lighter, since the winter coat’s long gone.
His kitty cat barn sister named Tiny, hovers over him like a small, but mighty bodyguard,
With playful headbutts, she greets him each morn,
Together with all their siblings, under Clever Girl's TLC,
Their antics a dance, beautifully adorned.
From Montana's plains to many continents afar,
Clever Girl's voice bridges vast distances with grace,
Connecting tales of four-legged friends that enter our lives and daily thoughts,
Each story a thread in the tapestry she shares.
So here’s to Nigel and Tiny, and the entire cast of beloved horses and Huckleberry too, that soak in the snuggles and scratches like the royalty critters that they are,
And with every video, she captures hearts everywhere,
Through her stories, the love clearly speaks,
Uniting us all through a peak into heaven and never ending but somehow mesmerizing chores.
Making the world a better place by instilling us with hope.
What a gift that keeps on giving!
That is really good. Very thoughtful and true.
What a wonderful and fitting poem. Thank you for sharing! 🥰
Beautifully inspired.
OH NIGEL - He looks really clean & gorgeous, even after rolling in his paddock! His mane & tail look beautiful....fluffy & white! I think NIGEL's mission in life for humans is to teach Patience, and you win the Blue Ribbon and a Gold Star!! God bless.....😊❤
This poem is AWESOME!! Thanks for sharing.
Nigel was at the end of his road, unwanted, unhealthy, suffering, and cruelly neglected. Not many people would have taken him in. What you have done for him, showering him with affection, kindness, and the best care at considerable expense while asking and expecting nothing of him, actually brings tears to my eyes.❤
My thoughts exactly. And CC's sense of humour is a must with such a tricky little character.
Oh Nigel ❤ Whatever his lifestory is, he has reached a point in his life that he has no use for humans and is over our BS 😅❤ Ponies live a tough life, Nigel is lucky to have a soft landing for his old age ❤
Awesome comment!!! ❤
That last sentence made me tear up 😢❤
I see "Nigel" pop up in my notifications and BOOM! I'm there! 😊😊😊
Me, too 👊 ❤
and I'm sooo with you! 🙂
Me three!!!👍🏼👊🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Me too! ❤
Boom boom - me too. 😊😊
Horses like Nigel, as naughty and grumpy as they are, always manage to worm their way into your heart. I really enjoyed this video of Nigel's grooming drama as well as the reaction of the other horses. Your knowledge and ability to meet the needs of each individual herd member is truly awesome. ❤
You and Nigel have a very unique relationship. You, the doting. loving, concerned mama, him, the crotchety older child who doesn't want to be fussed over. You guys are hilarious and I'm always so happy to see how kind and patient you are with him and all of the horses.
"Nigel! Ur just getting washed"!😂 What a lil pisser!😂🐎👍🏽
Reminds me of when my boys were toddlers-running thru the house bare ass naked happy as Hell covered in bubbles! 😂
Oh Skeletor! He's sooo handsome!!❤ swoon!😍🐎🐴
Nigel is a full stallion, all that testosterone does make them more stubborn and crabby.
We had an ancient pony when I was a kid. We called him our pasture goblin,and he ruled the entire place. I’m so glad this little stinker landed with you. He’s living the life all horses deserve. Love your videos. They make me homesick in the best way. Thank you for doing what you do
".. he will get spoiled until the end whether he likes it or not." ❤
🙂😂🤣😆🙃
I cracked up at Nigel’s “respectable hairdo.” So cute 😂
The punk hairdo near the beginning almost made him a unicorn.
@jackie4286- HA HA HA , yup.
He's a stallion and he knows it! I'm so glad you saved this guy. 🙌
I see a t-shirt that says “Nigel…NiGel… NIGEL” in increasing font size. Of course it has a heart on it as well. He seems perfectly content. He has friends when needed, activity as tolerated… Nigel is living his best life. I personally thank you so much for giving him that love these two years!
Omg Nigel's little topknot had me scream laughing, he is so cute and grouchy!
He just the cutest little stud ever. He has a huge following and could care less. ❤
As CC continues her daily challenges and toils, her love and dedication is truly a thing of beauty.
How wonderful that you will spoil him to the end, you are a wonderful owner to all those you provide habitat for. Thanks for allowing me to share your work.
Despite having to weather all the grooming, feeding, blanketing and vet visits, Nigel seems to have about as good a retirement as a pony could ever get.
He's a bit spoiled but it's a good way to retire! 🙂
Very spoiled. You are the boss and they usually love the alpha 😊
Nigel is an introvert!
Thanks for video
I love this cantankerous little grump so much. The way he was showing off for Prim killed me, I didn't think anything would be funnier than Scarlett watching the bath shenanigans but I was wrong lol. I hope Nigel stays strong and has great quality of life for a long time to come.
Honestly, I see another short sighted, long haired, small, old Nigel and feel like my story is being told. ❤ 😂
From woolly mammoth to sassy antelope in just a few steps! He looks absolutely stunning 😍❤
I know the voiceover takes time, but it really makes the videos great. So calming yet so clearly stating the personality of the horses which makes a non-horse person much more aware. You read them so well and then put it into words for my simple human brain!
Nigel just wants to show you what good shape he is in!!
Omg 😂😂😂 "...this is what ended up happening." Paired with the picture of Nigels unrespectable hairdo. I love your dry humor 😂😂
I honestly don't know how real influencers do it. I am never clean, the horses barely make it through their baths, only to roll in turds minutes later. I guess that's real life for ya!
@@TheCleverCowgirl I personally love every minute of it - turds and all 😃❤️
I think we're all glad you're so real and don't try to be an influencer!
@@TheCleverCowgirl
Sometimes influencers are not what can be seen directly, but what they have left
in the wake from having been there. 😉❤
@@TheCleverCowgirl
Nigel reminds me of small children; same mo.
Nigel will NEVER admit it, but he feels and looks so much better😊
The heart on his rump is so elegant. His antics are so hilarious - but frustrating to see you working so hard and he is not cooperating.
Thank you for showing us all you do for the wonderful little woolly mammoth. When his hair was up - he was truly a punk rocker.
He is a beauty and doing excellently for his age. He's a little masterpiece🤗🤗
Nigel has so much pride that he refuses to concede to ANYONE or anything . Look at him prancing around like a peacock, in spite of pain, blindness and old age. I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for his attitude. Thank you for helping him, I bet he is grateful, but doesn’t know how to express anything but contempt 🤷♀️🙏🕊️❤️
Nigel finding out why humans are the ultimate pursuit predator. We. Just. Don't. Stop.
Wow! Little Nigel has in indeed become " huge " with us all. When you're small and male both, it can be quite a challenge. Imagine his feelings when having to deal with others larger than him. He shows us he has courage, spirit, pride, and just wants to be acknowledged. He does love you Clever Cowgirl, just he can't show you right now. Sometimes matters of the heart are easier if left disguised, especially in his world where everything is a challenge to his character. Your love, your kindness, your patience, and extraordinary awareness of his health issues are such a blessing to this little guy. You and Nigel have truly captured my heart and so many others watching.

Nigel is a gorgeous little pony!!! He could have been a champion show pony in his younger years.
He is really beautiful!
What about that heart on his Lt hip? He truly is beautiful.
@@vickyrogers676 I kind of feel like a heart might be a bit of false advertising though in his case LOL! ;-P
@@OnceUponaTimeline😂❤
Rewatching this, I must say those new clippers are da bomb. Do not throw away the dull blades. Contact the manufacturer to ask about sharpening. Ask about local sharpening services at the local livestock products retailers. It's a lot cheaper than new blades.
Dog groomers usually have a guy who sharpens their blades! Check with sheep shearers too, they go through a lot of blades as well.
This process is giving me flashbacks from taking care of a Shetland over 50 years ago. He was an intact male who, I would wager, was the most cantankerous equine in the course of human history.
Here's hoping Skelatore makes a full recovery. Even in that little trot, he moves so beautifully. Fingers crossed
I enjoy every video but especially the ones about Nigel. It warms my heart to know he's being spoiled even though he doesn't like it. It's a beautiful life for him, safe and protected in your care. 🥰
I just love his confident little trots. Strutting around like a boss. He's awesome.
My favorite part as well!
Nigel feels freed up from all that extra hair. Such a beautiful prancy dance. Also I must say that Skelly's trotting looked amazing! 🤩
Love Nigel he's so cheeky
King Nigel with the ermine coat is an absolute rock star!
Royalty for sure!
🐴😎🥰👍💕
I love seeing Nigel, I am house bound disabled and love horses and I am so jealous.
I know the voiceover take time, but it really makes the videos great. So calming yet so clearly stating the personality of the horses which makes a non-horse person much more aware. You read them so well and then put it into words for my simple human brain!
Notwithstanding him not liking the beauty salon session, he will feel so much better now.
He is determined to get Prim. He destroyed the competition's markings.
I seriously laughed out loud at Nigel's reaction. Turd, indeed! 🤭
Nigel is so devastatingly handsome! 😍💖
Our little mini got colic tonight, we have been up all night, he is over 30, and the spunkiest little dude you will ever meet, he loves horses, always the boss, he loves his humans more, he taught all my children to ride, my eldest is about to turn 21, he isn’t an animal, he is apart of the family, a brother, a son a grandchild, a nephew….

This video of Nigel was so hilarious! Nigel is so saucy! His cut looks great! Thanks for the chuckles and a big grin!
Naughty Nigel is the g.o.a.t. of sass! Love that he’s old and still defiant.
He doesn’t hate you he is just Nigel. Everyone that ever had horses have had a Nigel.
So glad Tiny had time in her schedule to supervise.
He is. Such a sassy little devil….lol
Natural born comedian! His story is so adorable, and poignant. Hang in there , Nigel!
Nigel is the oldest swinger in town! Love him ❤

Nigel looks so handsome after a hair cut and bath!!!
His main and tail looks so white. The white in him is just absolutely white. That’s awesome how that stuff works wow.😊
Can you imagine how absolutely stunning he was when he was at his peak health? He is still so beautiful even as a cranky old man :)
He is so handsome. Glad the old boy knows it.
Spoil him rotten whether he likes it or not! Love it.❤😂
Nigel is well loved and lucky to have you❤

When my snow packs were traded for learger hiking boots in spring my total weight loss of winter gear was about 15 lbs. My feet felt light and springy. Freedom. I imagine Nigel experienced something similar. Joy and like a man with a newly shaved winter beard gone. Too cute he is. Did you ever think he has not ever been fussed over like tgis his entire life? 😊🎉❤🎉😂 life is better for this little horse.
He knows it too. Great job CC!🎉
I can’t help but hear XTC’s song Taking Care of Nigel every time I see him! “He must be happy!”
I love you❤Nigel ! Relax let mom help you ! Sweet babies!
I groom my standard poodles and came across a slipper blade cooling trick. The spray you are using now works but not for long. Get yourself a chinchilla cooling pad. It works so great and not very costly. I have 3 of each size blade so there is always a cool blade ready for use.
OMG! Nigel is so damn cute! Even though he maybe old he still reminds me of a small child! Being sassy, you give him a nice bath and he just has to roll in the dirt!!😂 He knows he's got you wrapped around his little hoof!!😂 Happy 4th of July! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with your animals. If humans could only treat each other with love and kindness the way you treat your horses, what a wonderful world we would live in! Love, kisses and hugs to you and your beautiful animals. 😘❤️🤗 God Bless you.
She takes such wonderful loving care of this sweet little old creature, May God bless her with all she needs.
You did a beautiful job with Nigel. You really are very good to him. He looks and acts so good and so healthy. You're taking really good care of that old guy. I'm so proud of you. You're such a kind and sweet person He is very lucky that he got you
He is handsome 😍
I know very little about horses, but I think Nigel has one of the loveliest gaits. He looks so smooth.
Just another AMAZING human doing her thing! Thanks for being YOU!!!
Wonder if Nigel was not harmed by water/a hose before, hence, his adversion to it. Nigel is a prancing little prince, protecting his own space. Lucky he found you and vice versa.
Skeletor is a stunning looking horse thanks to your care.
The cutest tiny horse !
I am so grateful that Nigel ended up in your care thank you for all you do for these beautiful animals
Nigel is just too cute girl! Your narration also is wonderful, I feel like your fur babies are like mine too! Just wish I could get some horsey smell thru the video!! Ha ha ha 😂
“We're only making plans for Nigel
We only want what's best for him
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel just needs that helping hand”
- XTC, Making plans for Nigel
Looking forward for this video! ❤
Gosh this is the song I think of when watching this Nigel. . .too funny!
@@Knucklehead123 Yeah, me too! CC used it in one of her shorts and I thought I recognized it as I’m an old fan of XTC! And now you guys know how old I am!🤣
@@Hiznogood Didn't know Clever Cowgirl used it - Hey - Don't feel old - You KNOW from Rock 'n Roll. . .
My late husband played with XTC just before they found fame ha ha! The song always comes to mind when I see Nigel😍
@@Thestephouse1 Wow!
Nigel is an uppity little blighter, for sure. He and all the other miscreants are so lucky that you look beyond their personalities and problems and delight in them anyway. And, even more importantly, continue to feed them so well, and keep a careful and knowledgeable eye on tweaking their dietary and emotional needs. I can only imagine how exhausted you are after dealing with the trials and tribulations of shaving off Nigel's wooly winter coat, bathing him, while trying to keep Skeletor calm so he continues to heal. I know you love them all anyway, but sometimes they do not make any of their care easy. (At least none of the geldings escaped today :) They are a bunch of very lucky, loveable misfits. Thank you for all you do for them and for sharing them with us.
Nigal looks gteat,after his bath and hair cut.he does like to give you the runner round 🎉😮👍❤🐎
Cute hairdo.
I love how Frisco just knows you so well!
Marvelous video -- and thank you for the Mozart! Why didn't I ever think of playing that when I was body clipping my kids?!
Classical is the best calming music 🎶 for animals and humans in my opinion ❤
CC, you are simply incredible. I’m so proud to see you at work. xo
"Wooly mammoth" was my thought about his winter coat as well. 😂 But I would never have thought of using bluing on an animal. Laundry? Yes. Horse? 🤔
Nigel reminds me of the artist formerly known as Prince. Small sassy and adorable.
Nigel is a strong willed old guy. Did I mention that he is good looking and know it? Your patience is exemplary with all those horses put you through. Well done! 👍❤
Ever since I saw a video with Nigel in it, I can’t but every time get reminded of my little old dog, twelve years now. They are so alike, my dog and Nigel. The hair in their eyes, misschieve glinting there, And the absolute determination Not to get groomed, pampered och anything else that they can’t deside for themselves. When you chase Nigel in his pen it feels like I’m shasing my dog through the apartment. He knows my every move even when I try and hide it. He’s the smartest dog I ever had, and I had a few very smart ones, but he tops them all. But then he is a cross between a chihuahua and som sort of small terrier and as street smart as any mott in the town. And like Nigel and other mini horses seem to be, my dog is the most dangerous 😅 dog I ever had and I have concluded it’s because he’s small and awfully cute. He’s the Only dog I ever had that has been so curled and pampered that I sometimes think he’s more a cat than a dog, and maybe he was in his previous life, haha. My heart melts every time I see Nigel looking through his mane and trotting like a king in his pen. You have a wonderful life with all the beautiful horses and stunning Nigel. ❤❤
This little guy is a real character! He is so lucky to have you. Such good care. Thank you for sharing.🐴
Nigel has a regalness about him. I really never noticed until this video. I’ve watched nearly all of your videos, but it seemed I never noticed that about him until this one. He’s so cute prancing around his pen after his clipping and bath!😊
Beautiful Nigel! He does not look his age, you have done a wonderful job ! Thank you for sharing this and thank you for sharing this great video and for the information about horses dietary needs!
I hope you have a great day!
PS Skelly and Studman look awesome , too!!!
@TheCleverCowgirl-CC you do such an amazing job with all of your Horses. Nigel and Skelton are two of my Favorites!!! Thank you for sharing All of the interesting information! You are Awesome. CC! And Tiny and Huckleberry are Adorable. Just like all of your animals! Nigel looks so Handsome and Young. What a Funny Boy Nigel Is!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐎🐎🐈🐕🐴🐴🐴
Nigel the sass-man! so cute!!
You may may have tried these already, but just in case you haven't...a couple of suggestions:
1. A bank of three clippers will allow you to be using one while the other two cool off.
2. He may prefer a hose with a gentle "flower shower" sprayer on it, like garden centers use to water their plants.
He looks beautiful after his "spa day. "
Skeletor has such a beautiful trot.
Nigel is my favorite horse.
Well, Nigel looked good for all of 5 minutes!!!🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰
I love watching your videos. Sometimes I have to take a break. My emotions get high in the winter. I miss my husband and his horses so much. It's 12 years this year. I also miss all the smells. I still have his roping saddle. I need to clean it again just from it sitting and getting dusty and dry from the heat. I keep it in the house. Lol. People think im strange keeping a big saddle in my living room and not a horse in sight and with my old bone situation I can only ride very gentle horses. I don't live very close to anywhere to ride too so it's not often I get to ride. I live in the country in TN. When young I really tried to get my husband to move to Montana. Now that the cold is so hard on me Im glad Im still in the south. But I've always thought it is so beautiful there. You have the perfect spot with your view of the mountains. I'm so glad I found your channel. Nigel is my favorite. He reminds me of a pony my husband rehabed and gave to our oldest granddaughter when she was three. The two oldest grands are the only two who got to spend lots of time with their PopPop and the horses. There's a picture of Brook when she was 2 leading Lucy across the field. Steve was close by but cropped out of the picture. He was proud as a peacock.
Much love and blessings from Tennessee. ❤
I wonder if a mini donkey would be good company for him? They are so calm natured😊❤
I agree, spoil them all.
