My old horse was a champion pee-er.  However, it was most likely due  
to his over-use of the salt block.  In his elder years, he appeared to  
be pre-Cushings, but he only started developing that after age 20.   
However, he was in a stabled environment, not a pasture -- the salt  
block use was most likely due to boredom.

You might ask your vet if there are any tests that make sense to run,  
but it also might just be that he is a big drinker.
