From the time I saw this week's prompt first appear ...
I been trying to get some local horses to take a drink.
However they all are quite happy to

The smallest one might take a drink -

| If there was not a fence in the way. |
He just has to be content to look at the water trough where others have been when I've not been about.
Police horses in a park alongside the Paint Creek Trail in Michigan have to do as they are told, but they do get a rest from time to time.

They even get taken to see the Clinton River nearby.

| A drink for one |

| And them both on a hot summer's day |
I'll try again with my local horses again tomorrow. If I do not succeed I know where I need to go to get a drink thanks to a special kind of horse.

| The Cleveland Bay, Yarm |
After all if you can't make a horse take that drink, there is nothing that says you have to abstain.

Excellent! After watching all those horses drinking or not, it would be fun to end the tour at the The Cleveland Bay in Yarm.
"abstain"..pubs..Nay Lad!
Yes Bob, you've got the horses watered one way or another. Love the green of that grass!
Was it really a hot summer day? Where I live, the grass would be yellow or brown in summer! Definitely not has lush and green as in the picture!
Your photos could be a pastoral painting from an earlier time, Bob. Almost Turner or Constable.
Oh gosh, what a trot of fun this horsing around has been. The horses and the scenes that they are prancing or looking studly are just lovely too! Green grass, wow.
Cheers to you too. Such handsome horses.
That grass was green and lush wasn't it? Poor pony, looked as though he wanted a drink.
Nice pictures and The Cleveland Bay looks like a charming place to indulge a bit.
Oh I like the look of that horse - and no doubt you can guess which one I mean
Always hard to get a photograph of a particular thing just when you need it, even if you see it all the the time otherwise, but you got some nice shots anyway, and good that you caught those US horses drinking.
