As you may know, horse hydration is so important during the colder months, as most horses do not drink enough water once their water’s temperature drops — one way to keep them hydrated, healthy and happy is to have Horse Quencher handy!

Horse Quencher is a mix of grains and flavorings that, when added to water, make horses eagerly drink. You’ll find Horse Quencher especially helpful for travel, competitions, cold weather and illnesses, and also great to pair with electrolytes to aid in recovery after exercise. And, since it’s made of all-natural ingredients found in most horse feeds, you can be sure Horse Quencher is safe for competition.
