Summer time fun with Phoenix and the dogs

We had a great time today at the barn, with the dogs helping with chores (following my every move and bringing a ball for me to throw). Then we hit the woods trail, riding to the lake for a swim. I rode Phoenix bareback, and he enjoyed eating the water plants. He also helped groom the trail, standing still while I pruned branches from overhead with my pruners.

Divot walked out to the end of this log in the water. She seemed quite proud of herself.
