In this second part, I\u2019m\nsharing my thoughts on water quality and the impact it may have on the health\nof your horses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While\nadequate water is the number one priority, water quality is a close second. In\nmost cases, a hydrated horse is a healthy horse \u2014 but hydrating it with tainted\nwater defeats the purpose. In the end, you may find yourself spending a lot of\nmoney to treat any number of issues to get your horse back on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\nare some of the more common water contaminants:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Organic Matter\/Minerals:<\/strong> Organic matter such as feed, manure or leaves contaminate water. Mineral contaminants in water (iron, manganese, calcium, sodium, fluoride, sulfate, etc.) are also a concern. Iron and manganese, for example, tend to cause water to taste      bitter. Sulfide causes water to have a foul smell. Horses don\u2019t particularly like either the taste or smell and may resist drinking it. Water pH can also be an issue as horses don\u2019t like acidic water. Iron and calcium may affect the absorption of zinc and copper, which play key roles in skin and hoof integrity. You might also see a poor hair coat and dry flaky skin when zinc intake becomes compromised.<\/li><li><strong>Automatic Waterers:<\/strong> Algae growth can be an issue in tanks and waterers, especially if water flow is compromised. Stray voltage is occasionally a problem and should not be overlooked as it can prevent horses from drinking and should be monitored regularly. Automatic waterers and tanks with float valves should be regularly cleaned to prevent contaminants. If it\u2019s been a while since it\u2019s been checked, you\u2019re likely to find it contains hay, manure or other matter that leads to poor water quality.<\/li><li><strong>Salt\/TDS:<\/strong> High salt and\/or high total dissolved solids (TDS) can decrease water intake. As these mineral contaminants increase, water intake tends to decline due to the water\u2019s flavor or physically just turning the animal off due to the concentration.      <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Below\nare tips to help ensure the water you provide is most effective at hydration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Cold\/Icy Water:<\/strong> You may think a cold drink after tough, physical exercise is more hydrating, but it isn\u2019t. You\u2019ll find that you can drink more and rehydrate yourself faster with water at room temperature. The same is true for horses. When rehydrating a horse, avoid water that\u2019s cold or icy. You may be out working or riding and making them thirsty, and if you have groundwater at 55 degrees Fahrenheit or below and it\u2019s 90 degrees Fahrenheit outside, that will be a pretty significant shock. Water in the 60- to 70-degree Fahrenheit range is much more acceptable and creates less digestive shock to the animal.<\/li><li><strong>Ponds and Streams:<\/strong> Allowing horses to drink from ponds and streams is not advisable. These sources may be contaminated with algae, pollution, pesticides, diseased organisms such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa or parasites \u2014 and possibly drugs. If it\u2019s a stream, it may be contaminated with sewage coming from human waste. Some      studies have shown significant amounts of hormones and pharmaceuticals in wastewater, and some municipalities simply treat it and dump it back into the streams. That water isn\u2019t ideal for your horses to consume.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Provide Plenty of Fresh and Clean Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Poor water quality is a concern mainly because it lowers a horse\u2019s intake and can lead to dehydration. It also has consequences on function of the gastrointestinal tract and leads to an increased risk for colic or impaction. It can also be directly tied to poor kidney function or kidney failure. To keep your horses properly hydrated, take the time to ensure the water you\u2019re providing is an adequate amount, and is clean and fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a more in-depth look at the importance of water for your horses, check out the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/ker.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kentucky Equine Research<\/a> website.
