Yes some love to swim but some are not as enthusiastic. water, for some race horses is used for therapy to relax the muscles of the horse. Some horses adore swimming, but there are some that do not!

If you mean, "Do they know how to swim without being taught," yes, most horses can swim easily. Not all want to though and will do anything to avoid it.
