I have never heard of this product until yesterday. I was so impressed when the vet tending to my impacted horse offered some to him (resolving impaction, is being monitored, will hopefully come home tomorrow).
I went to see him and was told it was fine to hand graze him for ten minutes, and I could walk him as much as I wanted after that. He was sipping at his water but not overly enthusiastic over it. I walked him for twenty minutes, just long enough to have his cabin fever subside. I returned him to his stall and the vet was just getting the words out of her mouth that she mixed a bucket of horse quencher and hung it in his stall, he bypassed two buckets of water, immediately walked to the far bucket and drank the entire bucket. I was impressed, and even the vet wasn't expecting that enthusiastic of a reaction.
I did some reading up when I got home, while it does not work for 100% of all horses, I would say 95% of the independent reviews in chat rooms was excellent. It is deffinately a good product to have on hand, the company will even send a sample pack, I believe enough for a gallon of water. I just wanted to share, maybe the info can lead someone to encourage fluid intake with a troubled horse. This will deffinately have a place right next to my electrolytes, probiotics and banamine.
