Bathing in the streams

How deep does the water have to be to clean my horse? Ankle deep? Knee deep? Up to the neck?

Does this also clean Arthur? Can I just run him through water the same way?

"Swimming" in water works the better than walking (wading) in water, but is still less effective than bathing in a tub for Arthur, or brushing for a horse.

If you swim Arthur, you will actually see a blood trail behind him as he becomes cleaner.

There are sections of the river deep enough to swim the horse - and the initial plunge into the river, when the horse drops below the surface, will also clean the rider (blood trail can be seen).

So, dipping in a river, lake or pond is good for a quick option, and works well before the Stable is unlocked - but a true bath is pretty cheap, and seems far more relaxing.

Ok, thanks! This is the answer I was looking for. I've stopped progressing the game at the very beginning of chapter 2 and just needed a quick solution until I begin progressing the game again.
