That horse might be sick, or old. Or the water might be getting moldy. You might waht to go see a vet. That horse might be sick, or old. Or the water might be getting moldy. You might waht to go see a vet.
That is correct.
It is not physically possible to force a horse to drink, no. If the horse is thirsty, it will drink. If it is not thirsty, you can hold its nose down in the water, but you cannot make it suck up water and swallow. You could make sure that the horse was thirsty before you led it to water, but that's about all you could do.
It means even if you lead a horse to water, there is absolutely no way you will make it drink if it doesn't want to.
Dont let them drink water that doesnt look clean and clear. Chech the grass before you let you horse graze on it. If it has ANYTHING in it that looks like it has fertilazer in it. Make sure you have a cell phone!!

Yes! Horses need lots of water! Make sure it is clean before they drink. Also make sure it is in a easy place for them to get toyes, even when in the field. there should be water for them to access at all times.Not if the horse just "pigged out" on hay and oats. It could bloat up with air/water and die! Let the horse rest after a hot workout or lots of eating away from lots of water or just give one inch in a bucket.
Answer"You can lead a horse to water, but not make it drink" is just a saying for trying to talk to someone but you cant make them do something

If this isn't for any games, in real life, horses will drink when they get thirsty enough. there's a saying- you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink

it basically means what it says when my horse seems thirsty i can walk him up to the water tank but yet he never drinks
Horses drink water, although some horses won't drink water when they are traveling because it tastes different than they are used to so people put Kool Aid of Gatoraid in the water to make it taste good.
YES YOU CAN! this is a common mis-understanding... The way to make it drink once you lead it to water is to jam his carrot up his backside so he will dunk his head into the water and begin to drink to relieve the pain. Horses have a nerve in there anus(which humans do not have,although you can try this) which is called an ectyolism nerve, this will cause the horses neck muscles to spasm and contract thus forcing the horses head into the water to drink.
This affects people because people cant drink from the water and if they did it would make them ill as it is polluted
