I found by "preloading" with electrolytes my horse drinks from the outset
of a ride. I simply put electrolytes in the food starting Thursday moring
through Saturday morning feedings. I also use electrolytes at every vet
check. Now Misty starts drinking as soon as her brain settles in (about 10
miles) and she drinks at every oppertunity after that point.
