Hmmm...deep thoughts...?

Don't you think that with the proper amount of manpower, pliers, ropes, belts and duct tape, you actually COULD lead a horse to water AND make it drink?

First, the horse has to be thirsty! Maybe more fun to induce thirst by going for a canter around somewhere nice...So, the moral of the tale…persuasion and/or coaxing is better than force...

Drinking is a voluntary action and must be done by the individual, horse or otherwise. You can force water down but that is not drinking. Again if you submerge them and they open their mouths and water fills them they are not drinking. So no the actuall act of drinking can not be forced, correced maybe but forced no.

This applies to children more than anyone, I've always thought. You can be the best parent you can be (leading the horse to water), but the child is going to be his own person, no matter what (you can't make him drink).

That and a 2x4. We're on to something groundbreaking here. Kinda like flagging and blocking but more like flogging and bopping. lol.

No, I don't. If someone does not want to do something you can't force them to. I'm not sure why you'd want to force them anyway. Individuality is very important.

Hummm, well, depends how big the horse is? maybe a small dose of kindness, a little loving, write it down for him, make it a good reason to want to drink in the first place???

No, you'd be more apt to make it drown.
