Horse rescued from pool

[tallyho!]

"He grew up on water meadows and is used to walking over tarpaulin as part of his natural horsemanship training.

Just read this peice of news on the homepage and almost fell off my chair laughing at the above statement from 'the breeder's mother'.

I often wondered at the wisdom of tarp-walking... now I know why.

Mine took an early bath many years ago - he obligingly swam down to the roman (steps) end for a bucket of feed, climbed out, shook himself off and ran back to join his pals True!

Well, I suppose it saves you an hour giving him a bucket-bath

They wouldn't let put shampoo in the pool...

The horse shares a field with my friend's horse. Apparently he escaped when someone went into the field to poo-pick and he got into the garden next door to the field!

Thank God he's safe.
