Playing in the Sprinklers

Do you remember playing in the sprinklers on a hot day?  Growing up in Southern California, my memories of summer when I was small all involve a hose or the sprinklers.  It was warm Sunday up at the ranch so we put Flash and Winston in the arena to run around in the sprinklers.  They had a blast.  They started by rolling, then bucking, then racing around.





Here they are in action -- that Winston is fast!!  Flash ran a little bit, then stood in a corner and watched Winston racing around like a little kid with too much sugar.  Which is, well, accurate. 


We had to stop them because Winston pushed it a bit too far.  Flash got annoyed and kicked out with both hinds, landing square on Winston's side.  ...same place he kicked when I got my toes broken but this time, fortunately for me, I wasn't on Winston's back.  Winston trotted down to the far end of the arena, manured, and then stood licking and chewing for a good five minutes.  It's hard to be young and hyper with a grumpy horse like Flash.
