You can lead a horse to water...

Wish my boy were as enthusiastic to wash his face... or go in water for that matter.
Bailey is most defiantly certainly sure that the water will bite him.
Your wee man looks like he has have tons of fun though

 

[Jesstickle]

Bless him, he's having fun. Perhaps whilst BH is broken I should teach him to love water!

 

[starryeyed]

What a gorgeous boy! Wish mine was that keen to go near water

 

[JFTDWS]

Love his heart! Bless him splashing around

I hope you had long boots on

How's he doing?

 

[1ST1]

Bless him! He looks very contented and not a day over 10. And he surely knows how to have fun

He does enjoy water, although he wouldn't go anywhere near it when I first had him. We lived on the South Coast for a few years so used to go in swimming in the summer

Improvised hydrotherapy

What a gorgeous boy! Wish mine was that keen to go near water

Thanks He must have been in there for about an hour!

Love his heart! Bless him splashing around

Didn't have any shoes on at all He seems fine, should really think about rescanning soon but I'm working up the courage

 

[winkles]

Haha, I love how he dips his nosey in!
He's gorgeous, I hope he's not broken for much longer

 

[JFTDWS]

oh heck, wet feet then

Fingers crossed for the re-scan, glad he's doing well though

He's 21, and a revolting hairy yak at the moment! Now I remember why I always clip out...

Haha, I love how he dips his nosey in!

Thanks, he is very unlikely to be ridden again, but he's such a dude I don't mind too much

 

[JFTDWS]

That is NOT a hairy yak

 

[winkles]

That is NOT a hairy yak

Quite right, yaks aren't ginger!

 

[LauraWheeler]

Bless him. He looks like he's having a fab time

 

[Happy Hunter]

Wish I had a river like that - and a horse who liked dunking their head in it!

Would save struggling with a sweaty brow of a 17hh horse with a dribbly hosepipe!!!

I watched my cob doing the splashy face game in his water trough today - it was very hot here so think he was just having a cool down. Bit annoying though as I had just put sun cream on his white nose, so had to run back up the hill and put some more on. I wish I had taken a photo as there was a queue of thirsty sheep waiting patiently for a drink - but cob was in no mood for rushing

 

[juliette]

What a wonderful clip. You are so lucky to have that river near you, and even luckier that he enjoys it so much. Made me, my daughter and my completely non-horsey husband really smile!

Thanks all for your lovely comments, he really is a darling of a horse

My yard has the best location ever!

The ginger one is a very cool dude!

 

[debsg]

Awww!!
My cob is convinced that crocodiles swim in British rivers, lakes and large puddles. As for the sea, just down the road, well! Killer Whales and Great Whites in there, apparently!
She is built like the proverbial brick **** house. If she says no, there isn't anyone gonna change her mind
Hope your lovely boy feels better soon xx

[FanyDuChamp]

That looks like a ginger horse really enjoying his self.

He is always unnecessarily pleased with himself when he knows he's on camera

debsg - he wasn't a fan of water when I first got him, but a bit of persistence and we got there in the end!
