How do you train a horse to drink? My young horse will drink with another
horse, but not alone on the trail. And not under pressure.
I want to use the pnw electrolyte, but it should be given in water, or in
cookies after drinking water. I've been syringing homemade lite, but now
understand that is not a good idea unless he is drinking lots before hand.
He seems to drink better after syringing the homemade stuff.
Quite a catch-22. So, how to get him to drink? Ideas please....
