It depends on the speed of the current though. We should assume that it's not THAT bad or else the ferry would be quite hard to handle, yet if it's strong enough and we decided to swim the horses to the other side, not only we'd risk loosing a horse... but we'd also loose the rided that has to hang on to the horse to get across. (While a horse has a relatively good chance of crossing a river, a man would probably get tired before it does... and in any case, you need someone to lead the horse across, they won't swim out of pleasure)
