Attended a seminar last evening on endurance, & nutrition. The speaker was
our local "endurance" Vet - Dr. Jerry Washburn. Jerry always gives
interesting presentations & new tips.

After watching horses drink Jerry noticed that the ears flick, every time they
swallow. So, he uses a bucket filled with a specific amount - & lets the
horse drink - counting the ear flicks. Then remeasures to see how much water
is gone.

So, say 10 ear flicks = 1 gal., etc. That way he can adjust his electrolites
to the horses water consumption! Great idea huh? I'm going to try it this
weekend!
