Featured Video: Pool Party

This video has been floating around the web for the while, but as the July 4th holiday weekend approaches, we thought it was time to showcase this classic summertime video in which Duke the horse makes good use of an inflatable kiddie pool.

We hope the manufacturer of this pool has contacted the owners about an endorsement deal. Who knew an inflatable pool could be so durable?
