Step #1: Realize that when the brochure says you will be swimming a horse, this means that you will be swimming a horse. Not just gently prancing it across a shallow stream. Dress accordingly.
Step #2: Try to ignore the fact that you look completely ridiculous wearing a bicycle helmet while riding a horse. Because, you know, they ran out of riding helmets.
Step #3: Find an idyllic river.
Step #4: Find a horse that can swim. This one is important.
Step #5: Make sure that Mr. Miyagi is there. He makes everything awesome.
Step #6: Learn to be trusting of the one-eyed Mexican cowboy who is going to be leading your horse into deep water. Most likely he did not lose the eye in a horse-swimming accident.
Step #7: Make sure to be one of the first people to volunteer to swim the horse. Because the horse just swims little circles in the same area and, eventually, the horse is gonna have to poop. And you don't want to be the person swimming the horse in the water it just pooped in.
Step #8: Riding a horse bareback while it swims through the water is exhilarating. And cold.
Step #9: Make sure you point and laugh at all your friends and make fat jokes as the poor horse struggles to pull itself out of the water and up on the shore while carrying the extra weight.
Step #10: Enjoy your ride back to the horse corral while in damp swimclothes. And also don't adopt the stray kitten hanging around the cowboy's camp. No matter how cute.
