Re: [RC] [RC-Digest] Vol: 03.5208 Molasses in water - Chipnml
Actually one cup in 2 gallons of water really isn't a lot of sugar.
Also, my guy tends to be really low key, and I'm actually happy when he shows a
little zip at a ride. Quite a turnaround from my previous horse who would
have me worn out in the first 15 miles with all his shenanigans. That
being said, I don't notice my present horse's attitude getting too hyper with
the added molasses. He eats really well at night, but his bucket is
usually full in the morning, so I don't think he's getting too much water, but I
can see where that would be a legitimate concern. If he did drink
overnight, I wouldn't be trying to give him the extra water before I went to
bed. Also, I think (but I'm not sure) that the problem you mentioned has
something to do with too much water, and not balancing electrolytes, but I may
be mistaken. Anyway, after he drinks, I do give him e-lytes the night
before.
