Riders, you need to take a CHILL PILL. WHO CARES if someone sponged out of the wrong trough? The horse sure doesn't. He's not going to get some sort of disease from someone's sponge! Two different troughs?? Be glad you have water at all!
All you need is a good vet, a well marked trail of the correct length, and horse water at vet checks. PERIOD. Anything else is just icing on the cake.
Amen to that. The sponging only adds salt and electrolytes and my horses sure don't care.........A well marked trail and no surprises...that's what you need........mb
