In addition to being the most photographed horse in the barn, Ghardener is also the cleanest horse in the barn! Sharon gave him a "few" baths (as seen in these pictures from early July 2006). Ghardener also experienced a few "firsts" in these pictures: On July 8, 2006 he ate his first corn husks and Sharon spent some time teaching him to jump! On July 4, 2006 he wore a bridle for the first time and got his first shave.
