Horse swimming in pond

This is me taking my 13.2 mare for a swim in our pond. its the first time she had even seen the pond, let alone been asked to jump in it, and she was foot perfect!
just forall you animal rights people, the neighing in the background is the morgan stallion wanting to join in on the fun, and at no point was the mare forced to do anything she didn't want to do!

How awesome! You guys look like you're having a blast. I have a pond and I'd LOVE to do that, but I'm afraid my 1600lb belgian/tb would sink!!!

haha its good fun, before i did it on this little mare i did it on my 15.2 clydesdale x gelding- his balance is atrocious but he had a blast too! give it a go, just be careful that you dont slip and get cought in his legs.... =)

so obvious the horse was struggling. how pathetic and cruel.

[filmanimaltrainer]

sweetiepie, if the horse was struggling it wouldnt have gone in three times with absolutely no hesitation....

@dvs1john6 Hon, if the horse didn't want to, it wouldn't have gone in. Horses are more than capable of stopping themselves. ;)
