If you have a horse that tends to not drink enough water in winter even warm water consider adding a wellsoaked feed to their diet like beet pulp or hay cubes. Both of these feeds provide high levels of fibre which will increase the horses ability to stay warm and the added liquids will increase total fluid intake.
مع وصول أونصة الذهب إلى مستويات قياسية تجاوزت 2500 دولار، يجد المواطن المصري نفسه مضطراً لموازنة استثماراته بين الذهب واحتياجاته الأخرى، خاصة مع ارتفاع أسعار السيارات مثل تويوتا، هيونداي، وبي إم دبليو، مما يزيد من التحديات المالية التي يواجهها.
Increasing salt intake will also encourage a horse to drink more. The idle adult 1000pound horse should be consuming about two ounces of salt per day. Provide horses free choice trace mineralized salt preferably in a loose form as opposed to a salt block. For horses on a daily grain ration loose salt may also be added to their feed.

Last winter a pregnant mare was frequently experiencing mild bouts of colic typically in the middle of the afternoon. The owner knows that this particular horse for whatever reason prefers to drink from a trough as opposed to the automatic waterer. Although it created some extra work she kept a trough filled and heated through the winter and the bouts of colic disappeared.
The owner of a different horse one who had more serious colic episodes every winter found that adding some flavour to the horses water encouraged her to drink more. This is a common trick used by travelling equestrians to mask the unfamiliar flavour of water away from home but worked very well as a winter watering solution. Some experimentation may be required to find a flavour that suits your horse but peppermint extract molasses apple cider vinegar some KoolAid flavours and carrot apple or grape juice are some options that have worked for others.
