our yearling colt is going through a 5galllon bucket in 3 hrs....is this too much? my other horses dont drink as much as he does...he is stalled from 6:30 pm til 8:30 am and then is out side ..He is feed Stragy plus hay and is feed sperate from the other horses . Plus he is peeing so much I have to strip his stall every morning thats a bag of shavings a day.. his pee smells really strong , it burns my eyes and nose....He does not appear to be bloated and his gums are nice and pink... I have watched to see if he is playing in his bucket or dumping it and that is not the case...He has toys in his stall to play with and they are usually in another horses stall come morning or in the barn isles...
Oh and he does have access to salt outside but I have removed it from his stall thinking it was too much salt that was making him drink so much .
Please if any one knows if anything or nothing should be done your advice is well needed..I much vaule any and all input .. Thanks
