What amount of
molasses do you consider quite a bit? My horse could use more water the “night
before the ride”, at least IMO.

To get my horse to
drink at rides I put molasses in his water....quite a bit. Now that
he's more experienced, he drinks well on the trail, but I still use the
molasses water the evening before a ride, giving it to him in two-gallon
buckets. I can usually get him to drink 4-6 gallons from late afternoon
until I go to bed. Not all horses go for this, I suggested it to a
neighbor at the last ride I was at, and her horse made a horrible face when
he sniffed it!
