Chipolte Pepper is a 13 year old Thoroughbred/Quarter Horse Appendix who has never been in an Equine pool before. His owner wanted to diversify his training by adding swimming as a alternative cardio workout with less physical impact than traditional ground work.

it was not expensive...it was $35 a swim. Which is nothing compared to the benefits for the horses!
