Horse meets water for the first time, frolics gleefully
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The old idiom about not being able to lead a horse to water looks to be true in the first half of this video, with Anna Paterek's steed, Magic, looking very tentative as she tries to guide him into a stream.
After several failed attempts he eventually sticks a hoof in, and quickly finds that he really rather enjoys the sensation.
Magic then starts furiously pawing at the surface, showering his owner who is in fits of hysterics.
Now accustomed to the river he frolics about for the rest of the video, as Paterek declares it "the best thing that ever happened".
The horse does seem to like the water, but not as much as these goats enjoy balancing on a wobbly metal sheet.
