Wish I could share it all with you.... but not until after this next Tevis. It is too much of a competitive advantage!

I'm no expert, and I don't play one on TV, but I have some expertise with leading a horse to water and getting it to drink.


First: You haul about 15 gallons of water in 5 gallon containers by hand up a hill to a vet check. Then you warm the water in the sun. You put the water in buckets that are easily accessible for your horse. Then, when the horse comes in, you bring it to drink out of your neighbor's muddy wash water bucket because that's the only water that will do.

Note: The neighbor's buckets will not be attractive to your horse unless you've hauled 15 gallons yourself. Your 15 gallons will be drinkable to the next horse that comes in off the trail that isn't your own horse.
