[RC] Horse won't drink - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Cate Peloquin cpenguin57@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

Ok, this is for all you who have experience with
a horse that just won't drink until later in a ride.
I have tried various protocals for elyting this mare.
None have worked to make her thirsty enough to drink
before about 20 miles, sometimes waits til the end of a 30
CTR.  Natural water is not her friend and will drink from
a tub after a while.  I ride with my daughter whose horse
drinks at every opportunity, my mare either just stands there,
or gets really impatient about getting down the trail. I start elytes before 
even getting to a ride and even that won't get her going drinking early in the 
ride.  I give her really wet food, but that isn't enough to replace the volume 
a horse needs to drink. Someday, I think I'd like to do another 50, but won't
until this drinking issue is a thing of the past.  Thanks in
advance! cpenguin57 @ aol . com
