It’s no secret that I love spending time at the lake during the summer.
But did you know that my pony friends from the farm also enjoy relaxing at the lake on hot summer days?
While I’ve been to the lake with my ponies many times before, this time I decided to find out what it was like to swim with them! My favorite pony Minnow offered up his back to take me for a swim around the lake.
And since ponies don’t come equipped with seat belts, mom had to come along too to make sure I didn’t accidentally fall in (not to worry though, I wore my life vest at all times too).
My pal Minnow is actually a Chincoteague Pony and he was born wild on the Island of Assateague. Which if you know the story of the Chincoteague Ponies, then you may know that as a young pony Minnow made the swim across the Chincoteague Channel during Pony Penning Week when he was just a young foal. So if anyone knows how to swim, it’s my pal Minnow.
And I have to say, swimming on the back of a pony is a heck of a lot easier than swimming in the lake on your own. I think it’s going to have to be my preferred method of transportation on the lake from now on!
So thanks Minnow, for taking me on my maiden pony swimming voyage! I hope to have many more in my future!
P.S. Thanks to my pals from My Life, Naturally for taking some of the photos in this post!
