Like the title says.
Is this common knowledge?
Was out in the wesht at the weekend and the girlfs father was telling me about a guy that swims his horses across to an island.
Being an elderly man and a bit of a character I thought he'd either lost his marbles or was taking the proverbial out of me.
Well didn't he drive me down to the marina and low and behold some fella was sailing out to the island with 3 horses in tow, well into their breaststroke they were.
I nearly ****ed myself.
Came home and told people who either went "Ya, i know" (mostly her friends from home and the odd bogger friend i have) or were in the same utter disbelief that I was.
So am i just copping on to the obvious or . . . . . . . . . ?

If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Have you never seen a western where they swim across the river?

You do know that milk comes from cows, not bottles?

Some of the best stamina training a horse can get is swimming.All the top race horse trainers in the country have either a pool or access to an area where the horse can swim.

I've seen Westerns where they drown crossing the river.
So noone is surprised by this?

Er, why wouldn't they be able to swim?
TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY

All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
Because it's not a common sight and they don't look like the swimming sort.

Most horses see no reason to enter the ocean--there's nothing to eat,
they can't drink the water, and they'd have a hard time escaping
predators. However, in warm areas with small waves, some horses can
actually enjoy ocean swimming. If you've dreamed of swimming with your
horse, follow these safety tips. (For tips on riding on the beach, see
"Trailwise," Horseman's Handbook, Horse & Rider, August '02.)"

Ah well then...
Better not tell the horses so anyone, if they realise mid-stream that they really can't swim after all there'll be mayhem!

Actually, bees are becoming scarce. It seems WiFi might be disorientating them. A lot of the hives are empty, and plants aren't being pollinated.
