Serious dehydration
is a common side effect of trailering. But does it have to be? Horse Quencher
gives you peace of mind that their body is ready to perform (outbound) and
nicely recovering (homebound). As Sarah Jane Prew, editor of Just Dressage Magazine, says, “I
tried five horses on Horse Quencher and all of them loved it. They are drinking
whenever Horse Quencher is offered which is brilliant in hot weather, or when
traveling as before it has always been difficult to ensure that they are
rehydrated at the end of a long day. Two of my dressage horses loved all of the
flavors but my husband’s horse, Major, definitely preferred the butterscotch to
all the others and as he is about to go to a big competition, we were keen to
stock up on this flavor for him as he rarely drinks when traveling or at shows.
It has made a big difference to them all.”?
