Horses are natural swimmers and usually enjoy swimming very much. Your horse may have been pushing off against the footing with his hind legs - if there had been more and/or deeper water, he might have felt smoother. "Hanging on" is perfectly appropriate - just do it in a way that is easy and comfortable for both you and your horse.
To make it easier for a horse to swim, the most important thing to remember is to let the horse have complete freedom with its head and neck. Every year, some horses drown because their riders took them across water with their heads tied down (with an English martingale, a Western "tie-down", or any other related piece of auxiliary equipment). So first, before entering the water, be sure to remove or disconnect any such equipment. Then, let your horse use his head and neck in a stretched-out position.
The easiest way to swim with a horse is simply to slide off the horse and hold his mane, allowing yourself to float along next to him. His motion will carry you along. If you keep yourself attached to the horse by holding the reins, you'll make your horse uncomfortable, so if you anticipate going for a swim, it's best to plan ahead and ride in a halter rather than a bridle, or put a halter on under the bridle before you leave the barn.
One warning: Swimming is great fun, but when your horse leaves the water, be ready. Most horses will shake themselves hard as soon as they're out of the water. This serves to remove a lot of water, but it can also, occasionally, remove a rider. A wet horse can be very slippery. This is just something you may want to keep in mind.

"شنا کردن با اسب"
اسب ها بطور ذاتی شناگر هستند و معمولا از شنا کردن بسیار لذت می برند.اسب شما به طور ذاتی پیوسته باکمک پاهای عقب ,خودرا درون آب به جلو پرتاب میکند اگر عمق آب زیادباشد او حالتی صاف (تخت تر) به خود میگیرد دراین حالت آویزان شدن سوار کمک بسیا رزیادی به اسب میکند فقط آن را به طریقی که هم برای اسب وهم برای شماراحت تراست انجام دهید برای آسان کردن شنا برای اسب , مهمترین چیز اجازه حرکت آزاد سروگردن در هنگام شنا می باشد.
هرساله تعدادی ازاسبها به دلیل اینکه سوارکاران شان آنها رابا سروگردن قفل (بدلیل استفاده ازتعلیمی های کوتاه و ثابت یا هرگونه ابزارجانبی) به مواجه با آبها میفرستندغرق می شوند پس درابتداقبل ازواردشدن به آب ازحذف یاآزاد بودن اینگونه ابزاراطمینان حاصل کنید واجازه دهید اسب درهنگام شنا سرو گردن خودرادر بالاترین موقعیت بگیردآسان ترین راه برای شنا کردن با اسب،قرارگرفتن درکنار اسب وکمک گرفتن ازیال او می باشد،به خودتان اجازه شناور شدن به همراه اسب را بدهید.حرکات او شما را به جلو خواهد برد.اگر شما خودتان را با گرفتن بند دستجلو،به او متصل کنید، اسبتان را ناراحت می کنید،بنابراین اگر شما تصمیم به شنا کردن دارید،بهتر است قبلا برنامه ریزی کنید و ترجیحا با کلگی سرآخوری به جای کلگی افسار به شنا بروید.یا یک کلگی سرآخوری درزیر افسار خود بر سر اسب باقی بگذارید.یک هشدار:شنا کردن بسیار مفرح است،اما زمانی که اسب شما از آب خارج می شود آماده باشید.بیشتر اسب ها بمحض اینکه از آب خارج می شوند خودشان را بشدت می تکانند.اینکار برای گرفتن آب روی بدن توسط اسب انجام میگردد گاهی اوقات سوارکار را نیز می تواند از جا پرتاب کند کند.یک اسب خیس می تواند بسیار لغزنده باشد.این چیزهایی است که شما ممکن است بخواهید در ذهن داشته باشید!
