I just tried to lead a horse to water, but I couldn't make him drink...?

Question

I hate it when addages come true.

Does any one know how to break this damn trend cos that horse is looking thirsty (stupid bloody thing)...?

Answer 1

I know the feeling - I'd tried to give someone knowledge - but couldn't make them think.

Answer 2

Give him a salt block (specially made for horses). Usually, the horse will lick the salt block and become thirsty - making him want to drink.

I think this answers your question - I was a little confused, so I'm sorry if I answered it wrong. Good luck!

Answer 3

when the horse is thristy it will drink, trust me i went though the same thing with one of my horses, u could try putting a salt lick out for the horse salt is good part of there diet i use the blue salt block.

or u could get your vet to take a look at him if your still worryied.

Answer 4

Let it drink on it's own. It thinks that it's a trap when you want it to go there. When it's thirsty, it will find water on it's own.

Answer 5

I died the other week and went to heaven. There was this camel just walking backwards and forwards through the eye of a needle and loads of rich men banging on the gates. It was wierd.

But to answer your question, try injecting water in to the horse. Loads of it.

Answer 6

Did YOU drink the water first and THEN splash some on the horses lips?

Sometimes horses don't easily TRUST those that LEAD them.

Answer 7

Give clear signals that the well is open for........ drinking, Try dimming the lights,.... Feed it saw dust, and it will get thirsty.. :)

Answer 8

When it is thirsty it will drink on its own! Dont force it because then it will lose trust in you!

Answer 9

Obviously it isn't thirsty.. just leave some water with it and it will drink when it becomes thirsty. ;)

Answer 10

the horse will drink when he's thirsty
