Eek! Water!

Emily's pony club, in conjunction with another group, the land owners and our vet, who does cross country extensively put in a water jump in the fields. It's currently the only one in the state of Alaska. It took Commeuter, who is deathly afraid of water, quite a long time to come to peace with the fact that he can and will be walking, trotting, cantering and jumping in the water. Here, he tried to launch to the other side (25 feet away at least), and in the process, is leaving Emily behind. She almost went swimming. He'll go in, but not by choice. He refused during the cross country portion of the rally, giving Emily the only point penalty she got over the course of the camp. Ah well, he'll do better next time.
