Keeping horses properly hydrated is an important part of everyday horse care. Horses need consistent access to clean, fresh water to support digestion, regulate body temperature, and maintain normal body functions.
Hot weather and strenuous exercise can increase a horse’s fluid needs, but dehydration isn’t limited to summer. Horses can become dehydrated at any time of year, particularly when they aren’t drinking enough, are sweating heavily, have diarrhea, are ill, or have limited access to water.
