Water problems?

Question

I am having water problems with my pets. First why does my cat only drink from the sink? She is an old cat and never could i get her to drink out of a bowl of water and i don't know if i put one out if she will drink it if i am gone (like on a trip) or if she will just sit there patiently waiting for someone to turn on the faucet for her.

And secondly i have my horse only wants to drink from from the other horses water container next to her. The owner of this horse gets mad because they have to fill it up like 3 times a day with both horses driking out of it...but...if we move it away, my horse gets mad and poutty, then she won't even touch her own water untill we move the other one back so that she can reach it.

Can somebody please help me with these crazy pet delemmas?

For the cat, you can buy pet mini water fountains for cats that will only drink running water. Don't know about the horse, maybe she's taken exception to her own waterbucket.
