I noted your post and Mike's about hroses drinking - be encouraged Mike's
right -- your horse will 'learn' to drink over time as your condition more
and ride more rides...
I doubted this concept and was concerned over both my geldings a few years
ago as they didnt care to drink - and first one learned and now even the
harder one to get to drink stops for mud puddles - just in case!! Yeah!!
At least you were concerned for them drinking - some run right past the water
on first rides and find out later they needed to be aware of their horses'
water needs....
May we all Ride Safe and Sound
