Despite the heat, we had a great day celebrating Michelle’s birthday on Friday with a half day ride at Buntzen lake. We did the scenic route around the lake. The sky’s were a brilliant blue and lake shone like a mirror. It’s been fairly quite at the lake this summer as the lake is flooded while the damn is under maintenance so the beaches are washed out. Doesn’t affect the riding though. Near the end of the ride we took the horses down to lake to get a much needed drink of water. They all loved the water and love to splash and play. The wetter they get the better they like it. I forewarned Mike and Michelle that if they didn’t keep the horses heads up, that they would likely want to lay down in the water and sure enough – the kids couldn’t resist. We were all soaked and the horses cooled down. Fun was had by all.
