[RC] Training to Cross Water - Jonni

Then, if they're just too scared (and especially with water because they

have poor depth perception) do it on the ground with them, then remount and
ask them to go across with you on board. <<<<

I have seen more people about trampled doing this. If you try to lead a
horse across water, and it decided to leap, they usually head for where they
think it might be safe, which is on TOP of the rider. if you do ground work
with water, please use caution that you do not set yourself up to be jumped
on by the horse. Work with them going forward into the water ahead of you,
or beside you, but don't let out a long lead rope, and ask them to follow
you..... they often will take the same path you did, and you can get run
down. Seen it happen too many times.
