SWIMMING WITH YOUR HORSE
A horse as a natural ability to enjoy water.
Many a day if you drive past our yard you will see the horses standing and playing in our dams. Many a fun full day is spent with the horses in the dams. We have even hosted SWIMING BIRTHDAY PARTIES. It not every day that a child gets to swim with a horse. We also use the dam in the summer to do the first mounting of our young horses. This makes the "Breaking in" process fun and a lot less stressful on rider and horse, and also less dangerous, falling in water is far more enjoyable than falling on the ground.

Many of these pictures we love due to moments enjoyed, many were taken a while back when we first started swimming with our horses. In 2007 we introduced a rule - NO HAT NO RIDE. Anyone swimming with the horses from that date now is compelled to wear protective head gear, even when swimming. SWIMING WITH HORSES GUIDLINE (link) 7 TIPS TO SWIMMING WITH YOUR HORSE (link) |
