Re: [RC] re:horses wont drink (in a big hurry) - Linda

   I had a problem with a new horse drinking last year.  She was on the
bottom of the herd at home.  When we came to the water tank with another
horse, she was picking up the body language from the other horse telling her
to stay out of his water.   I had to keep encouraging her to move in there
with the other horse and drink.  It took awhile for her to trust that she
wouldn't get hurt.  Now she will even give ears back when threatened at the
tank.   But when she's in the pasture... still last to drink.

At the water tank were two horses, with two riders sitting atop their
horses telling them to "drink, dammit">>>>>>>
