I hope this helps. I know it sounds boring and repetitive, but that is how a horse learns. In the end, you will be glad that you took the time. Thanks for your information. I have noticed a difference in his behaviour after only one session.

Thanks a million for your wealth of information. Before we approach the water or dry stream, he starts hesitating and I tighten up the reins and try to ride him forward strongly at a walk, but he still escapes and jumps. I must tell you that almost all horses fear water. The problem for the horse is its vision. To a horse, that little puddle or stream looks like a hole and in one way it is a hole.
