Summer the Haflinger X goes for a Swim! (With pics)

[HelenBrew]

It was, of course, another 100+ degree day today with humidity, so Max and I decided to take Summer swimming! We all had a fabulous time, and Summer loved it.

By the way, 10 points to the person who finds Pirate (little brown dog) in all the pics.

On the edge of the water, with encouragement from Gryffindor from the rear!


After taking the plunge!








Slippery-backed Summer!

Great pictures! Has your horse been swimming before?

[HelenBrew]

Yes, she's been to the beach and went swimming there, too. Such a great pony!

OMG that looks like so much fun! I just showed my bf and told him we are so doing that if we find water along the way of our trail rides!

[leahsmom]

OK, I only found Pirate in three pics!

What fun! I am jealous! All the water around here has 'gators in it!

Fun pics! Thanks for sharing for thse of us who live vicariously! Did you lose your saddle pad in the pond?

awesome...ive been in the water but never past the horses chest....how did you manage to stay on? I love the last pic with the canada geese...so pretty!

[HelenBrew]

cinnstar - if Summer's mane was hogged, there would have been NO way of staying on! Simply a matter of arm strength!

fretless - no - I shed it at the water's edge!

leahsmom - 3 is correct! Isn't he cute? This water has lots of fish, but no gators that I know about.

witseyna - you should! It's so much fun!

eta: That dog spends a lot of time under water!! I can see the outline in most of the pics...
