RE: [RC] Drinking Problem - heidi

I stuck my thumb in a table saw when I was sixteen, I "fumble" quite often. 
  
Now, mentally, I'm not sure to what I might attribute my "fumbling". 


Well, focus on my lack of an e-lyte syringe then, not my lack of
fumbling.  :-)  (My thumbs are merely calloused, but I've still been
known to fumble.... )


Heidi Said: 
  
                 Because you're
right, the drinking issue is largely training 
  
In the case I sited:  The training issue was for the RIDER, not the horse. 


Well, shure.  But the rider hadn't trained the horse, either!  Now that
kinda IS a "cause and effect" thing--a rider that doesn't know any
better can't train the horse very well either, now can she?  And I'll
wager that you HAVE "trained your horse" by the very actions that you
described--when you get off and loosen your cinch at a water stop, he
knows he's gonna be there until he drinks...  And that approach works
even without fumbling with the e-lyte syringe, thumbs or no thumbs... 
:-)
