Horses and Water

 Why are horses so scared of water? Well its because they can't tell how deep the water is or if there is a predator beneath the surface. It can be very difficult for you to ride a horse that you barely know and try to make them go through the water. To be successful and make the hore\se go, you have to know them very well and they have to trust you. Most riders call this the trust bond between man and beast.
