They all get minerals in their morning feed. She licks all hers out of the bucket, the others will usually leave some.
I thought she might have been drinking like that out of boredom. She was use to running in pasture you know, and now she is in a run, and only gets turned out in the little pasture behind my house a few hours a day.
Rocky will drink alot if he doesn't get turned out enough, I guess now he's just going to drag the trough around:), and he's been getting out alot too. Crazy horse.

I do hope she is still pregnant..........
As for Rocky, he is having himself a blast!
I couldn't tell you how much our horses drank, thay all have automatic waterers so it just gives fresh whenever they need it.
The colts were laying down with the goat this morning, they are getting along great.
We seperate the colts now for feeding, and they are eating what they should be for already weaned colts. As well as hay and fresh grass. : )
I wish I had an answer... I wish I knew there was an answer.
On Rocky... have you ever tried giving him toys? My stallion liked to play with anything that was hanging on a rope. A ball, a bucket... anything he could bang around. We hung a plastic bleach jug from the rafter of his stall, and he'd bang it so hard he'd sometimes get it hung up and wrapped around the rafters.
