This is very sound advice! I've just started doing this for Alan in his stable overnight 🪣.

He's normally an excellent drinker but I have noticed the last week, since temperatures dropped ❄️❄️, he hasn't been drinking much.

I've also offered him a smaller bucket with salt water💧🧂(I put a salt lick in to dissolve), as he loves salt, to encourage further drinking.

Do you have any tips or tricks to encourage drinking?? I'd love to hear 😃❤️

WARM YOUR HORSE'S DRINKING WATER IN VERY COLD WEATHER 🐴💦

Doing this can encourage them to drink enough when it gets very cold.

Many horses won't drink enough when water gets icy cold, causing dehydration and an increased risk of impaction colic, especially in stabled horses fed hay.

So adding a kettle of boiling water into your horse's water bucket is not 'pampering' them, but could support good hydration and reduce the risk of colic!

Feel free to share 🐴🍏

On another note - prayers to all affected by real hurricanes and natural disasters 🙏🕊🤍
