Hi - I live in Italy and am having problems encouraging my horse to drink more (wish I had that problem myself, ho hum
) - he had a slight case of impacted colic last Saturday which I am sure was due to not drinking enough - he is on a soaked sugar beet (unmolassed) and hay diet, gets vits/mins supplement specially designed for that kind of diet, happily drank a bucket of water with fruit juice in it this morning but trashed the second try this evening - am worried he will go into colic again, last time I was there and could deal with it, but am now worried it will happen in the night etc etc (switch on every horse-owners worst fear nightmare vid......). He doesn't seem too keen on mint/peppermint flavourings, I am at wits' end wondering how to make him take in more water....???? it's hot here, but cool at night, I reckon the jumps in temps are affecting him but still need to know... I put salt in his beet.... thanks for any suggestions!
