Great reminder!

Thanks Jamie for sharing this myth about watering horses in the winter months. It's amazing that this information still lurks about in the horse world.

The only tiny truth is horse's will eat snow for some water intake but it's never enough to meet their requirements. So water must be supplied at all times.

I think the problem with some boarding facilities is that they are too chintzy to buy a water heater and pay for the electricity to heat the water so it doesn't freeze!

Such a shame.
