While many a horse will be happy to drink some will walk the other way. Sometimes the stubbornness or laziness of such an individual will have them staying where they are even though water is only a few feet away. A matter of fact many a horse won’t even put on their’s shoes for the walk in the first place. You can try to push and pull such an individual but if they want to go the other way sometimes it’s best you let them. As hard as it might seem eventually you must let them go hoping they’ll get thirsty and follow you to the watering watering hole or find a different path that you pray will satisfy their thirst and hunger even if it there are many pits and holes along their way.
