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.

∙ 13y agoIt means you can offer something (or someone) what they need, but you can't make them take it. So lets say you have a friend that needs help in math or something. You can offer to tutor your friend, but if they for some reason don't want a tutor-maybe they are too stubborn, or whatever- then they won't accept it. You led them to water (the help) but you couldn't make them drink (accept the tutoring)
