ROFL!  Sounds like my goofy horse.  I always blamed it on us being in SE 
Texas, where the water doesn't move and is always murky brown colored.  He 
views 
clear water, especially if it's MOVING, with suspicion.  A couple years ago we 
did a ride farther north.  There was a stream we crossed several times - 
beautiful clear water, flowing a bit.  He wasn't impressed.  But as we trotted 
down 
a logging road in the hot sun and came to muddy puddles in the road the color 
and consistency of chocolate malts (and probably 90+ degrees), he did his 
best to drain them.  I worried I'd have to have his stomach pumped for sludge 
after the ride!  <G>
