Ponying a horse across a water crossing does not always work. I've been in that situation, myself, with horses that refuse to cross. I've tried ponying, and the horse just pulls back and refuses to go forward. You also risk the chance of the horse leaping forward and landing on top of you.
Great tips but I've run across those water troubles too. Just because the other horses aren't afraid of the water doesn't mean it's safe!
