Re: [RC] Horses drinking - Karen Sullivan

Well, my young mare (just turned 5) has so far been showing a lack of
"incentive" to move
down the trail with any energy.......but she sure is a good drinker and
eater....I have been learning
that if I haul over a half hour to a trail head, she always takes a very
good drink before starting the
ride....so it does appear she is going to take good care of herself.  I am
still hoping she wakes up some....

Can't help but chime in here, just to make ya all jealous. :o) My
Tempo horse, will get a huge drink of water, BEFORE starting. As
long as I give him a nice 10 minute or so warm-up, he wants his
water. He is one that will drink at the first water, and prefers
it be in the first mile. He has a nice big bucket all night, so
isn't "needy". My last horse would wait 15 or so miles before
drinking. I think I like "Mr. Water Me NOW", as I don't worry
so much. Plus it is a quick way to know if something isn't quite
right, early on. Haven't had that happen yet...knock on wood.

It is how we "feel" deep inside that matters, cause each of us knows the
truth, regardless of how we try make it complicated.  It just isn't.

REAL endurance is eating egg salad sandwiches for 3 days straight! Heidi

ate egg salad sandwiches for 3 days straight!
