Who doesn’t dream of relaxing in a beautiful, cool lagoon after a run on a hot day? We have all had that daydream. But some of us have actually been fortunate enough to experience such a paradise. The gorgeous horse in this video is one such individual.

After going around with his human mama, he was hot and sweaty and needed to cool off. So, the two of them went for a swim. However, when his human mama got in the water with him, she did not expect him to do something so cute that she could barely contain her excitement over it!

When they first get in the water, this horse is a little hesitant, so his human mama playfully coaxes him into the water by telling him that he is a good boy. After a moment, he is in, and that is when the magic begins.

Once both of them are in the water, this woman cannot help but contain her laughter because they are having so much fun, and her laughter must have stirred something in her equine companion because he responded by playfully blowing bubbles, which only made his human mama laugh even more!

She tried to get him to go deeper into the water, but it turned out that he was perfectly content to stay where he was, with the water just below his mouth so that he could easily blow bubbles whenever he wanted, LOL.

Social media absolutely adored this! Instagram user thislife_is_mychance remarked that this scene must be what heaven looks like when they wrote, “Excuse me… But did you just give us all a glimpse of heaven?! God is so good!”

While Instagram user sillyprune commented, “What a life you guys are living!” And Instagram user kensingtonhomedesigns wrote, “I’m so happy that they have you and you have them.”

Do Horses Like To Swim?

Horses are born with an instinct to swim and are actually very competent swimmers. They have enormous lungs, which allow them to naturally float. Plus, they have a natural sense of when they are in deep water and will readily perform a paddling action that is similar to how they move when they trot.

So, while horses can clearly swim, it doesn’t mean that they necessarily always will. The horse in this video, for instance, was happy enough just to blow bubbles and relax. Maybe he sensed that swimming wasn’t necessary, or he just wanted to relax? Either way, watching this gorgeous horse blow bubbles was well worth our time!
