More Info
No other nutrient is as important to horses as water. Under average resting conditions horses become severely dehydrated in as little as 72 hours. Under adverse conditions of heat and exercise this can occur in less than 12 hours. Not only is regular access to water essential to good health but the quality of water is also critical. Though much has been written on the proper watering of horses there has been little real study on the subject. Recently a group has studied the clinical, biochemical, behavioral, and hygiene effects of different watering techniques. This article presents theirs and others findings and discusses water quality used for horses.
