There are times when you wish your horse would drink more water....or if you are on the road for events, vacation, trail rides.....here is a simple trick to try: dip a peppermint candy in the water or just swish around a peppermint tea bag for a few minutes to let the flavor permeate the water. Most horses love the taste of peppermint and it will get them drinking again.
Lemon eucalyptus is a great essential oil for repelling flies and mosquitoes. There is citronella which is a great bug deterent at work.
