Hydration advice is everywhere, and much of it is conflicting. Some riders are told to add more. Others are told to do nothing at all. The result is confusion, not clarity.
If you want to improve equine hydration, separating myth from reality matters.
Having water available does not mean a horse is drinking enough. Stress, temperature, and routine changes all influence intake.
Electrolytes can support hydration, but they do not replace consistent water intake, calm routines, or recovery practices.
Cold weather, hauling, and indoor environments often reduce intake just as much as heat.
Overcorrecting hydration can create new problems. Balance and consistency outperform extremes.
Hydration works when it fits naturally into daily care.
Most hydration issues resolve when riders simplify, not escalate.

For long-term consistency, integrate hydration into your Prehabilitation approach and reinforce it with tools from the Prehabilitation collection.
Hydration improves when routines are grounded in reality, not hype.
