What do two horses in love do on the internet?  They E-Lope!

What did Mr. Ed say to the throat specialist?  I’m feeling a little hoarse!

How did the instructor try to make horse riding enjoyable?  She tried to stirrup some interest!

What happened to the man who owned a riding academy?  Business kept falling off!

 

OK, I’ll stop.  Have a great weekend!

These images were created at the Northern Virginia Animal Swim Center.  It’s really cool to see the horses swimming in a pool.  I used to take my dog swimming there as well – they have a separate area for dogs.

If you’re trying to picture what a horse swimming pool looks like – here it is:

You can see the ramp on the far right – that’s how the horses get into the pool.  No diving boards here. :)
