    It’s actually the other way around: it can be REALLY difficult to lead a horse that doesn’t want to be led anywhere, whereas a horse standing still within reach of water tends to start drinking with no prompting needed eventually if not immediately 🤷🏻

      You might not bd able to lead a horse to water, but if it already happens to be near water, you won’t need to force it to drink.

          Yeah… Same thing happens when you want to claim something is biggest, fastest, or whatever. Usually, you can’t say something as short as “this is the the longest bridge”. Instead, you have to add all sorts of extra details, like “longest composite girder road bridge in [insert_country]” If you compare it with suspension bridges, rail bridges or check what neighboring countries have built, suddenly it’s not that impressive any more. Keeping it snappy tends to be at at odds with the facts.

    This is probably a LOT harder than you’re thinking. Horses are Hella strong and also float. Not actually sure how you would drown a horse short of like a bag full of water on the head or something
