unfortunately Minky was being naughty so my ride on her was cut short and I had to put her away, but on the bright side I got to ride through the dam on my friends horse Mav.
The thing with Mav is before this weekend, Mav wouldn't go ten meters near a puddle even if there where a truck full of carrots waiting on the other side for him, so that was a big effort for our friend Maverick.
The first five minutes or so, the horses where getting all antsy, and wouldn't do anything right, and then Minky went in, and she was being really good until grotty had to go and neigh out at Minky, and then Minky wouldn't do anything if her life depended on it!
so after a while I just made sure that Minky would at least walk forward a few steps for me, and then I got off and had a shot at riding Mav.
Minky swimming in the dam before she starts playing up, and Mav on the side there, with his owner Monique.
Mav's profile has been added to the side bar if you wish to take a look.

"My lovely new jumping vest was double thickness, protection guaranteed and don't forget the lovely PINK and PURPLE coloured finish!"
And it floats! We'd know you anywhere girl!

Saw the post on your Dad's blog about this. I was waiting for your perspective on the event.
Swimming with your horse is such fun! I haven't done it in years so I am envious. Envious too because here is below 0 C--freezing. (Winter in New Jersey, USA.) If I tried to swim my horse now, we'd need ice skates! *G*
Happy Birthday, Katie. May your and your lovely vest share many happy rides this season.
Oh, you lucky girl you, Lucy won't go near water, is very phobic about it, so we'll never have as much fun as you had that day!
Rats, forgot to leave my name on the previous comment!
