Even if you do this at 2am on Christmas Eve expect the girl scouts to drop by selling cookies, Jehovah Witnesses to come by handing out material, the local preacher to drop by collecting money, postal worker to bring a package that needs signed for, local law enforcement to drop by after the strangest call from a neighbor, your grandmother to bring you a nice pie, and the paper boy to ride by with his video camera and bribing you to keep the video off of youtube all while cleaning your horse's sheath.
If your horse has no objections to it, expect him to follow you around because you are his new best friend. This comes after the wiggling lips and "grooming" you.
For the next week or so expect him to greet you with a hopeful look in his eye and immediately dropping, no matter who is standing there with you.
These are reason numbers 51, 52, and 53 that you will never get invited anywhere outside the horse community. Reason number 1 is the smell of smegma no matter how many times you wash your hands and use gloves.

R Bounds, You've got that right!

Even cleaning the mare's udders you get some funny looks!
