Last weekend my riding buddy Judy and I took our horses to a friend's house near Macon for an endurance training ride. We rode out to a river where some of us took the horses in for a swim and then we enjoyed lunch on the "beach". After lunch we continued the ride and totaled close to 18 miles. It was hot but the river and the shade helped keep us cool.
Mow wasn't too sure of the river and this was only the second time I've ridden him bareback.
He got the hang of it though and seemed more comfortable when we stuck near the other horses.
We didn't quite make it to swimming but this is definitely the deepest he's ever been in water.
Here's the entire group all tacked up before we left the river. Not everyone rode the whole distance with us but it was nice to meet new riders.
After the hot ride Judy handed out wet wash clothes that she had put in ice water before we left in the morning. What a perfect way to cool down! (and a silly photo op)
