Not if his kidneys are working. Much
rather see a horse peeing three times on a ride than not at all. Keep it
up.

My horse was coughing a
lot recently and displacing his palate (he is diagnosed with DDSP) more often
because of it. Thank you to Adele for the solution that worked, soaking
his hay religiously. :) He actually has taken to it like candy.
He loves to slurp it up and eat his "noodles". He even guzzles
the "tea". The result is that he now pees about 3 times even on
conditioning rides. And it's almost as clear as water, very light
yellow. I am happy that he's well hydrated all the time. But I
wanted to know from you guys if there is a concern about "over
hydration"? Thanks to everyone! Dawn
