What can you do when your horse won't drink enough water?
Water is the most important nutrient a horse takes in, yet some horses drink too little, especially when they travel, when the weather changes or when the water smells or tastes different from home. A horse that suddenly stops drinking or eating, or seems dull or colicky, needs a veterinarian first.
For an otherwise healthy horse who is a poor or picky drinker, owners often offer flavored water beside fresh plain water, find the flavor the horse prefers at home, and bring it along on the road. Keep clean plain water available at all times.
