Re: [RC] methods to encourage drinking in ridecamp - RBluebirdpr

One problem I've had before is my horse refused to drink the water available at a ride because of the different smell (at a Florida ride where the water had a sulfur smell was one example).  Of course I started taking water from home but you can only take so much.  So I started adding cool aid to his water about 4 days before I would leave.  Once I got to the ride I would add cool aid to the water available.  Then after I returned home I would gradually ease the cool aid out.  It worked for this particular horse.
