Teaching a horse to cross water

This vide starts small with a puddle, but if you look back over our videos you will find river and dam crossings covered in the 'Making a safe trail horse "video.
This is not JUST about crossing water. It's about a horse being in a safe state of mind while on an outride and improving your trail ride safety

In starting to introduce water - is it better to get on the ground and start there?

[@HeartfeltHorsemanship]

it is always better to start on the ground, and be willing to go back to the ground if things go backwards
