I hadn't seen this old thread before. It brings back memories! When I was in my twenties there was a sod farm with a water reservoir across from the place where I boarded my horses, and on hot days we would jump on bareback, with only halters and lead ropes for control (didn't want to get the bridles soaked), and ride over there for a swim. The pond was 15 feet deep in the middle, and we used to swim across it. Once the horses lost the bottom, the water would stream over their backs as they stretched their necks out to swim. We would grab fistfuls of mane and float alongside them, making sure to be in the right spot to slide back on as they hit the shallows and scrambled up the bank. Good times!

Do the dogs seem to bother the horses at all? Or are they all buddies?
-
Not at all, they all get on really well. All of my dogs, as you can probably tell, are brought up around the horses so they learn a healthy respect for them! But are not frightened of them at all. When i go to horse shows and events I tend to take a dog or two along so i need them to not be nervous or aggressive towards them!
