Horsepower

Everyone should do this once!

At the end of a long ride, both the horses and their riders were a bit hot and sticky. The lake provided a perfect opportunity for cooling off and having a bit if fun. The horses often spend the afternoons swimming, paddling and rolling in the water so it's only polite to join in.

Swimming with your horse is fantastic - there's a huge amount of power in these guys and when they lift themselves throught the water it's a completely different feeling than riding on dry land. Technically, I didn;t take this photo - Mpho did the honours from the side of the lake while Gunmetal and I went for a swim - but I just couldn't resist sharing the experience!
