This message is from: Cynthia_Madden/OAA/UNO/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Peg, Well, I am not as knowledgeable as Ursula, I'll grant, but I have some first hand experience in this matter. I think your suggestion to your husband is correct. Several years ago, an automatic waterer used by our horses developed a short and they would get a slight shock when they tried to drink. The waterer was promptly fixed but the horses were not convinced. They would stand around the waterer, obviously thirsty, and snort and mill, but not approach it. They had learned their lesson. So I went up to the waterer and offered myself as sacrifical drinker and pretended to drink out of it. The head horse then got up the courage to try it and soon they were all drinking thirstily out of the waterer.
Sometimes we just have to set an example for our horses and they so often do for us. Cynthia Madden email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
