Koohii stories:

1) [Megaqwerty] 17-7-2007(33): The guy who said that you can take a horse to a river, but you can't make it drink obviously has never encountered a tame horse.

2) [dihutenosa] 14-8-2008(13): The process to getting a tame horse is a bit like getting a tame Christian - baptizization! you take it into the river at a young age (just after it's born is best) and dunk it in until it is almost drowned. Then at the last possible moment, when its life is flashing before its eyes (good baptizers know when this is), you pull it back above water. The first thing it sees is its "rescuer" and "savior", and it will be tame and follow you for the rest of its life.

3) [blannk] 13-1-2010(6): Horse, stream. You can lead a tame horse to water & also make it drink.

4) [paasan] 28-7-2010(4): (+Megaqwerty) The Trojan Horse was so well-behaved the Troys took it for being tame. They even took it to the stream to drink. (Think of the Troys playing with the horse like little girls play with dolls). It didn't drink of course, and that's where the proverb 'you can take a horse to a river, but you cannot make it drink' comes from.

5) [brendanmacdonald] 23-10-2008(2): Can you TAME this wild HORSE to cross this RIVER?
