That is good exercise for the horse. All horses needs exercise. That wasn't cruel because she didn't make River swim, River walked directly into the pool.
A horse to do a length of that swimming pool is like a full lap canter or gallop work so it’s a lot for them but it builds there stamina and it’s good for there joints just build it slowly and surely never over work them
Pam VanWinkle Uh I wasn't saying she was washing washing her, its just an easy way to dunk your horse and get the dust out of the coat. For example washing it. Pretty sure River hasn't broken her leg, she may have fractured it but I haven't heard of it happening to her.
Laina M. Well yeah I suppose it is. Has River done something then? I haven't seen anything that has said about anything happening to her. I thought she was just using her facilities.
Very nice video.. awesome pool for a horse. Never seen anything like it. Thanks so much for your videos. May I ask if that bulge at :20 is normal in her front leg shoulder area? It looked rather painful to me.
It looked like a rather sharp protrusion. I don't know much about horses and I am pleased to know that River is perfectly healthy. Thanks for your response and I completely enjoy your videos.
I wish I had something like that where I lived. I think Rebel would enjoy swimming. But why were there jets of water on the sides? It seemed like it was spraying right into her ear and eye. Just how I saw it though. I'm sure there's a good reason for it.
