I got some sachets of this to try out and can wholeheartedly recommend it if you have a horse which is reluctant to drink at times.
Bea won't drink when we're away from home and when he had colic just before Christmas we had a devil of a job to get him to take in enough liquid.
The HQ instructions recommend trying the produce before you actually need it to get the horse used to it - so yesterday I tried Bea with a sachet of the mint one.
It's a bit like mixed grainy feed, just a handful in each sachet. You add it to a gallon of water in a bucket and leave it to soak and soften for 30 mins. I made up the mix and left it outside Bea's box to marinade whilst I had a cup of tea, sitting just outside his door, on the opposite side to the bucket. He spent the 30 minutes going to sniff as near to the bucket as he could reach, and then coming to me to snuffle my hair and nudge my shoulder, telling me to hurry up and let him get at it. The youngster who lives next door was equally as interested, and stretched as far over his door as he could without falling out!
When I finally took the bucket in to him he couldn't wait - and what a racket!! He slurped and splashed and guzzled the lot down straight away, and then tucked into the grain at the bottom of the bucket. Just like the horse in the video clip on the website.
We've got our first TREC comp next weekend, so I'll take a sachet with me and see if he'll drink away from home.
I was a little worried about introducing a new product to Bea because of his sensitivities, but he's absolutely fine. No sign of loose droppings or a grumbly tum.
Here's the link if anyone's interested in trying it. The postage is quite steep if you order from the website. But if you give Lucinda a ring, she'll reduce the postage cost for you.
