Anybody want to have a hydration contest? I have a question about an
over-hydrated pony. I've considered taking him to a 25 but he worries me.
I've NEVER seen an animal drink like him. He's a lush...and he pees
constantly. (think of yourself when you're on an 8 glasses of water
diet). He pees clear (I'm sure EXTREMELY diluted straw but looks clear)
and pees OFTEN. Maybe twice in a one hour ride sometimes. He's a total
pain to have living under your shed because he makes a river. He's 10
yrs. old registered Welsh. Chunky. Predisposed to a cresty neck. Soft and
a little overweight but has never had free choice grass or he'd be a
lump.  Slick with no signs of major hormone problems yet. I'd work him
into some shape before taking him to a ride, but I wonder if his hormones
are wrong.

I once asked a vet if a pony could be diabetic. She thinks he's just such
a pig that he also enjoys swallowing water. When he shared a field with
his brother they drank a 30 gal. garbage can of water a day. After I
swapped him out with another pony it dropped to about 10. I'm a little
worried about taking him to a ride. If anybody ends up behind him he may
drain all the streams! Any suggestions?
