A Ride in the Park!

A few Sundays ago, Penny & Bonnie, treated themselves, with a ride on their horses in Anderson River Park! Bonnie took the pics, so ya won't get to see her! But she was certainly there enjoying her big ole gelding, Boogie. Penny rode her T/B, Storm. On the first part of their ride they saw Bambi!!!!
Boogie is having a blast! He loves it that Bonnie gets him out & about from the arena, his ears are looking happy!
& they have reached the water! Mmmmmm......tastes good! Nice & COLD! The Sacramento river runs through the park, but this is probably one of the many ponds, as the river is swift this time of year! Shasta Dam has to release enough water for the fishes, down south in the Delta!
There's Penny's Storm! He's a good looking guy too! Bonnie said that Penny was smart & brought some shorts along, so wait till you see what 'the boys' get to do next!!!!!!!!

Yep! They get to go swimming with Penny! Storm is saying,I'll follow you anywhere Mom, but are you sure????? or he's saying, what we doing this for???
I think he's saying here, Yee-Haw that water is cold on my butinski!!!!! Look how he has it all tucked in!!! Too cute! Just dive in Storm, it will warm right up!
OK, now he gets the hang of it all & is having a most refreshing swim! Good Boy, Storm! Good Mom, Penny!!! You're spoilin' that guy!!!!!!! Penny decides it's time for her to have some fun & let's Storm ...........................

pull her through the water........Oh, What FUN!!!!!!! How cute is that????? I KNOW, I'm jealous! LOL!!!
Now, it's Boogie's turn to swim. I really thinks he's saying; "Now Auntie Penny, are you sure about this??????"
Penny reassured him & he went for a swim!!!! YEAH!
See Boogie, you survived! Now wasn't that fun???? Good Job!

I'm sure both Boogie & Storm, would have liked to have been back in the pond this week, as the weather has been in the triple digits here in No. California!!!! I'm sure they will get to go again soon, as their Moms are dedicated to them & to riding!!!!! I'm certainly glad we all found our way out to Safe Haven Horse Rescue, & have Linda R. & each other, & of course all the 60 + (at the moment) horses in our lives!!!!! You can too! Come on out & Volunteer your time & or sponsor a horse!!! You'll be glad you did!!!!!! We all are!!!!
Bye for now,
Linda C.
PS. Penny pointed out something FUN! Both horses as they are Swimming ( Look Mom No Feet TOUCHING!) curled their lips UP! How cute is that?????? SO! You can blow up the pics by putting your cursor over the pic & when you get the HAND just click on it & it will be BIGGER!!!! Bye! ENJOY!
