Weekly Watering Hole, Presented by Horse Quencher: Hello, Ocean

The ocean is a hard concept for some horses to wrap their head around. Watch how one owner introduces hers to the water.

Marenlene writes, “Went with my horses to the beach in Noosa North Shore, south of Rainbow Beach in Queensland, Australia. They both saw the beach and the sea for the first time. First they were a bit scared, overwhelmed by the big waves and the noise. After a while they got used to it and in the end they enjoyed the beach time. My horse Jay is a 10-year-old Stock Horse Gelding; Lilly is only 2-3 years old but as brave as a filly can be. We had so much fun playing in the water. It was a bit tricky to handle both horses at the same time, so after they were both fine with the water I only took them one by one into the ocean to give them some time to play.”

Looks like fun! Have photos or video of you and your horse getting wet? Share them with us at [email protected] or post to our Facebook page here.
