Well I tried it she's not scared of the hose just the sound. Well I got her used to the sound and she was drinking from the hose then I started at her feet she was fine. I had her tied up to a post. I got to her shoulder she took off running slipped fell on her side stood up I calmed her down then she stood there and didn't move another muscle. I used the sweat scraper and towel to get most of the water off then i untied her and she ran out in the field and rolled in the mud and hay
