Once she moved to NDF and had a stall at night that's where it became very evident. I'm planning to have her checked out in the spring but I do believe that it's normal for her. She loves her salt block and at one time I experimented with taking it out of her stall to see if that would reduce the amount of drinking and peeing she does...it didn't help.

O...Huh! I nevertheless would have though of that! <br /><br />Out of curiosity, did taking away the free-choice salt decrease his peeing at all? A friend of mine is actually having the problem with a mini she recently acquired. The little thing both drinks and pees more than a full sized horse. It's kind of astounding actuallyAbbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17784724437450397444noreply@blogger.com
