We've had several strange days of serious rain here in North Texas. It's June, and it is WEIRD to see water falling from the sky this time of year, but we're happy to take it whenever we can get it. Rather alarmingly, almost everything everywhere has massively flooded - the lakes have risen 5', cars have been swept away down roads totally underwater, and, shockingly, out entire stock pond filled up and then some! I've never even seen a DROP of water in there before, it has always been bone dry. Now it is probably almost 10 feet deep in the middle, if not deeper! WHERE did all this water come from??
Well of course, we had to take advantage of it. Who doesn't want to go swimming on a hot Texas summer day?
It's a little bit of a boring video, but it's adorable nonetheless.
She was SO GOOD yesterday. She just went on in and did whatever I asked.
Granted I haven't met O in real life, but from the stories on your blog I like her!!! Also that video was not boring at all. The grasshopper of doom had me laughing my butt off. That looks like so much fun! I don't think I could convince Chrome to swim. Maybe someday when he isn't so green, but right now... no way lol!
ReplyDeleteI used to own a mare just like O! I loved her sassy self. She had an opinion about everything and could be a total PITA, but when it came right down to it, she always had my back :)
ReplyDeleteNo one has to love her but you. That is all that matters. Although I think she is kind of cool too.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if any of my horses would swim. Well I know the Princess wouldn't. She has a hard time if her water tub over flows and gets between her and her food. But she is a princess and doesn't like to get her feet wet. LOL!
your friend has clearly never had an opinionated mare and experienced how awesome it really can be when they want to work for you. Its 100000000x more awesome than any other horse I've ever ridden and addicting in trying to achieve!
ReplyDeletefun!
ReplyDeleteSuper fun! I don't think my horse would ever go swimming
ReplyDeleteWish I had a place around here to try horse swimming...other than the ocean, that is. =)
ReplyDeleteI like O! I think she's got a great mind and you are bringing that out in her. I'll join O's fan club. :P
ReplyDeleteHow FUN. And who cares about anyone else's opinion. Your horse. Your life. You get to love it and do as you please however you please.
ReplyDeleteO is a special kind of horse. Only a few people will appreciate her.
ReplyDelete;-) Better you than me.
I am very jealous!
