This message is from: Sarah Donchi <sdon...@yahoo.com> Funny reading everyone's stories about rolling in water. I have a horse who LOVES water. He will splash or roll in a mud puddle, lake, on the beach, in a river...and he loves to go running/splashing through puddles. I admit, I will unwisely let him roll when he's not wearing a saddle because I think it's cute and he has such a good time, but I sure have to be careful when riding through water. My biggest problem is that I get dizzy when crossing moving water, so I have a hard time getting him moving while trying to hold on myself, LOL.

It USUALLY means to get moving....NOW ! when in water. Jeffs horse, Brandy gave no warning. He would sometimes get those " weak knees " when walking through deep sand or entering a turn-out area, but often he would drop like a shot in shallow or deep water. When living in CA. we had the trail system through the Norco riverbeds. It was always an adventure between the soft deep sand, the river itself, the wild pigs who used to jump out squeeling at the very worst time.....the heavy bamboo that you had to lay down over the top of your saddle to get through, and the inmates from the local prison whos crews you would run into trying to cut back that bamboo and keep the trail system open. Boy howdy, my horses were alot more broke there !
