Horse Quencher

Can you lead a horse to water AND make him drink ? No, goes the old saying. YES, say users of Horse Quencher!

Horse Quencher is an all natural blend of barley, oats, beet pulp, corn, salts & molasses that when added to water will get your horse drinking immediately. Illness, exertion, traveling and box rest can all stop horses drinking. For competition horses dehydration can cause loss of performance, fatigue, even colic and kidney failure. Recommended by leading Endurance riders and many USET riders.

We recommend you introduce Horse Quencher to your horse as a TREAT at home first. That way he will be used to it and when you need him to get hydrated right away, he will drink.

Most horses dive in right away, a few don’t. If your horse is hesitant, be patient.

Introduce Horse Quencher in a relaxed setting, e.g., after a ride or while grooming.

Give your horse encouragement. Scoop up the grains that sink to the bottom of the bucket and offer those to him. Often he will then understand that the treat at the bottom is worth emptying the bucket for! Taking the bucket to his nose rather than leaving it on the ground can help.

Persevere. Keep offering Horse Quencher daily. Each day he should start to take more interest. Try making the water-to-HQ ratio stronger at first. Or let the bucket sit for 30 minutes to 6 hours. This will enhance the flavours for the finicky horse. If it's a cold day, make Horse Quencher up with warm water. Try leaving the bucket in his field or stable by his regular water.

"Whenever I travel horses I worry that they won't drink enough. Thankfully with Horse Quencher, Mckinlaigh drank like a champ on the long flight to the Olympics. Horse Quencher will definitely travel with us from now."

Gina Miles, Olympic Games 2008 USA 3-Day Eventing Individual Silver Medalist

We use Horse Quencher when new horses arrive at the farm from trainers for rehabilitation or holidays. Horses that go to the sales to be sold, or those who are purchased from the sales, may spend time at the farm.
"We use Horse Quencher when horses have undergone surgery and return to us from hospital. At these times the horses can be unsettled for a few days, often going off their food and water. Horse Quencher has been excellent in helping to reduce the risk of impaction colic, a very costly and distressing condition.
"Horse Quencher is easy to prepare and the sachets are handy for using when travelling for one or two horses. The larger buckets work out more economical for the larger yards with more horses.
"The hydration of horses when travelling can be overlooked and Horse Quencher will assist those who reduce their fluid intake while being transported nationally and internationally.
"In a nutshell Horse Quencher has helped whenever the horses have a change of routine, or environment, when moving from trainers to the farm, for pre-and-post sales, for travelling and while recovering from injury and confined to the box."

Denis O'Brien, Breaking, Pre-Training, Rehabilitation and Sales Unit, Assistant Manager Shadwell Stud, Thetford, Norfolk

"Horse Quencher has had an amazing response with our pony, Captain. He is now drinking in his stable, much to our relief. Captain is recovering from three successive stomach impactions which have occurred over the last two months and getting him to drink has been impossible, the only way to keep him hydrated was with tubing by the vet. No matter what we and our vets tried to tempt him to drink, nothing worked - until Horse Quencher water came towards his stable and with much excitement by both pony and owner, yes, he was mighty keen for a drink. That first night he drank a good half bucket and it didn't take much persuasion for him to begin to drink again. He now drinks a bucket a night and sometimes a bit more. I have also noticed that over the last 3-4 days he is drinking more and with a 'glug' from water tanks in the fields, I feel Horse Quencher is helping with this and maybe teaching him to drink or feel the need to drink again.

"Another interesting note, the pony in the stable next to Captain, is forty years young and only drinks out in the field. Passing his stable with Horse Quencher water he was desperate to have a taste! He guzzled what was on offer and sure liked the treat at the bottom!

"I have let our vets know of this success with Captain. He likes both flavours of Horse Quencher and alternating the flavours will hopefully keep him drinking.

"The use of Horse Quencher is the reason why Captain started to drink. He still does not drink the tap water in his bucket which is still on offer. 

"I hope this product can help other horses to recover and prevent illness, it is another tool to try, we had run out of ideas. I am so glad my daughter typed into Google - 'How to make horses drink.'"
