I just love watching and working with horses as often as possible as every time I learn something from them. They are amazing teachers and healers. Thank you for your comments.

This was completely new as I haven’t ever had this issue with Jazz before, in the past 30 years. So it was a surprise and I felt guilty too that I hadn’t figured it out quicker. 🙂 But the good news is that we did figure it out, just like you did, and were able to correct the situation. Thank you for your comment.

It is always a good idea to call a vet whenever you are curious about a new behavior that could affect your horse’s health. 3 buckets of water at one time seems excessive. But all that depends on the time of the year, the weather, and the exercise regiment. I hope all is well.

She drinks 3 buckets full. When she is hungry she gets irritable and ears pinny, so i feed her. Then she is happy again. I’m curious if she has insulin problems. Thinking about giving the vet a call.

He does not particularly like drinking from water troughs, but there is one he won’t drink from at all. It got to the stage where he was really grumpy getting him and tacking him up, but he was just thirsty. This was last summer. I happened to pop him in the stable and realized he was thirsty as he went straight to water. I then put a water bucket in his field and offered him a drink before riding. He was just trying to tell me something. As you can imagine I felt very guilty about not being quicker to notice.

They each are individuals just like humans. They are always teaching us if we listen. Thank you for the information you give us.
