    Letting a horse have water directly after riding,is not fine.you should let your horse cool down before putting him in a stall with water available.this can cause a horse to colic.

      Yes, i think that the dude with the snorkel mask is right.  U should never let ur horse drink to much water after vigorous rides.  But never let ur horses to running water either.  If ur horse tramples down the river bank, it will over flow when it rains, leaving ur paddock or pasture a mess!!  We wouldn't want that now would we?!  The water might or might not be totally clean too.  Ur horse has a chance of getting internal or even external parisites from drinking unclean water.  Colic is also a chance for running water that flows through a river or stream.
