Water Crossing

We are fortunate enough to have some trails within walking distance from the barn where the horses will cross a road, go over some rail road tracks, through a creek, past barking dogs, and some cows and llama’s that the neighbors own. With the nice weather, we’ve decided to take Baby Diamond on a couple walks... just like walking the dog, but it’s a horse... LOL.
She’s very inquisitive and interested in seeing the world outside the barn. Everything is new and exciting to her. She sees birds fly overhead and she stops to look, she see’s the dogs and she stops to look, there isn’t any splating or bolting, she just wants to see what’s there, and that’s a great thing. We have walked her down the big hill, across the road, through the woods, over the rail road tracks, and up to the creek.
The first day, she sniffed it, took a drink, and proceeded to jump right in! Hubby was standing on a rock about 3 feet into the creek and it about knocked him down!
The 2nd walk was much less eventful since she had already seen the water; she just stood in the water as if to say “Well, are we going to go to the other side or what?”
Today, it’s supposed to be one of the nicest days of spring so far, so Hubby and I are going to take Baby Diamond, and Sugar along with TX and Acacia and we are going to go for a walk down to the creek and let the horses play and introduce Acacia to the water.
