Swimming the Narrows with an Ox


Crossing the narrows, between two lakes, with Scout the Ox: On the forum at http://ridingsteers.freeforums.org there was a discussion about being able to lead your steer through puddles as one of the criteria to qualify for the Official Skill Level of Beginner. I wonder if this would pass muster as a puddle?

On the Red River Ox Cart Trails in the 19th Century, crossing streams and rivers with the oxen and their carts was a frequent and necessary task.
