Well
this is going to sound weird, but start with a mud puddle
Be careful what you wish for, haha. I did this with a horse that freaked
around water. I carried carrots in my saddle bag and when I could finally get
him to step into the mud puddle, he would get a carrot. Pretty soon, he figured
it out. But you can get whiplash if you are trotting down a nice trail and
suddenly the horse makes a quick and sudden detour to go stand in a mud puddle
and wait for a carrot.
