Dolphins and Horses (1 Viewer)

"Every morning we take our Tubbarubba team endurance horses to the beach for a swim at sunrise Every now and then Breeze calls the dolphins into the shallows and the morning becomes magical. We use The Equine System to train all of our horses, which mean they are confident to work with us in any environment. From the competition scene to a morning swimming with dolphins our horses are prepared and ready. Check out our web site at www.equinesystem.com"

Really good photo shooting skills too!
