The water pressure when one turns on the hot water is lacking because the water is coming from one's water heater, which is at the same level as the faucet, whereas the pressure from the cold valve is coming directly from one's town's water tower, which is at a much greater elevation. Also, the water heater tank is only a few feet high, whereas the water holding cell in a water tower is several feet high. The potential energy of the water tower far exceeds that of one's hot water heater, thus the cold water flows out of the faucet with much more pressure.

Cold water is safe for horses to drink and can help cool them down after exercise. However, it's best to offer water that is not extremely cold, as horses may be more inclined to drink water that is at a moderate temperature. Rapidly changing a horse's body temperature by offering very cold water can cause shock or discomfort.
