Question
hello sir. may i know why to make a horse drink few sips of water after the workout irrespective of type of work?

Answer
hi -- you always cool out a horse slow and only let them drink a few sips of water each time you stop to let them drink after a race or a workout as they are extremely hot and their blood in pumping fast and if you let them drink too much water they can founder for sure.. i always would walk them 60 minutes after a workout or race and cool them out slow with limited drinking. then let them take a pee and all should be good . thanks ED HESS
