We’ve all heard the adage, “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” While possibly true, the authors suggest the following to help a horse drink water:
- Make sure the horse can access clean water at all times
- Give him some space
- Try electrolytes

INSIGHTS: Horses need water in winter, too. Be sure to keep water available, despite the challenges weather may present. Help horse owners understand horses’ water needs year-round. Routine reminders on social media or in e-newsletters could save a valuable horse companion.
