more dirty animals

I went running in my hiking boots yesterday after classes (5:30pm). Sometimes, I had to walk or I would fall in the mud, and no one would ever find me again. They'd make up ghost stories about me.

But the dirty animal I refer to is a horse, the dirtiest horse I've ever seen. I didn't know what it was at first, because I saw it from behind, and it doesn't really have a mane or tail; it has burrs. The long hair is so full of burrs you can't see hair, and the rest of the horse is covered in mud, with burrs stuck on the mud. But there were also several deep scars on its body, and I could see its ribs. It was not happy to be a filthy horse. I wanted to give it a hug, kind of.
