I'm no expert, and I don't play one on TV, but I have some expertise 
with leading a horse to water and getting it to drink.

First:  You haul about 15 gallons of water in 5 gallon containers by 
hand up a hill to a vet check.  Then you warm the water in the 
sun.  You put the water in buckets that are easily accessible for 
your horse.  Then, when the horse comes in, you bring it to drink out 
of your neighbor's muddy wash water bucket because that's the only 
water that will do.

Note:  The neighbor's buckets will not be attractive to your horse 
unless you've hauled 15 gallons yourself.  Your 15 gallons will be 
drinkable to the next horse that comes in off the trail that isn't 
your own horse.
