Have you ever been told to not allow a hot, sweaty horse to drink cold water because it could lead to colic, founder or tie up?

This notion is actually a myth, and a dangerous one too, because it could lead to dehydration and very serious (and real) consequences. A sweaty, hardworking horse needs to be rehydrated without delay (i.e. don’t wait for the horse to cool down first).

The key, however, is to know how much water to allow at one time — because of the equine stomach’s relatively small capacity, offer small amounts of water every 20 minutes until the horse drinks his fill rather than letting the animal drink it all at once.

Remember that water is the most vital nutrient for a horse. A horse’s daily water requirements are influenced by many factors, but the average idle 1,100-pound horse in a cool environment will drink 6 to 10 gallons of water per day. That amount may easily double or triple in a hot environment! Therefore, it goes without saying that providing cool, clean water to your horses at all times is of paramount importance.

We only have a couple of openings for June for horseback riding lessons. We are only accepting clients who prepay at the beginning of the month at this time. Message us or call/text Leah at 406-672-7511 to get on our schedule.

Leah is now scheduling horseback riding lessons for June 2025. At this time, we are only scheduling clients who prepay monthly or have a "membership". We currently have a waitlist and want to accommodate as many clients as possible.

A membership just means it's clients who want to take lessons on a weekly or every other week schedule prepay at the beginning of the month. It enables the clients to pick their desired time and day and reserve it. To have a membership, it is required that the client prepays for their time slots at the beginning of the month and there are no additional fees.

Statements will be sent out through QuickBooks prior to the start of the month and payment is required by the first of the Month. All lessons paid for at the beginning of the month must be used by the end of the month. If membership isn’t paid by the first of the month, then riders will be moved to our waitlist.

If you have any questions or concerns, just get ahold of Leah by calling or texting her at 406-672-7511.

McCord Training is not having any horseback riding lessons after 12:30 p.m. on May 17th, 2025. Leah will be busy setting up and preparing for the Equines For Fosters Fundraiser Dinner taking place that evening. If you have any questions, you can call or text Leah at 406-672-7511.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this event and has donated! Last year, Equines For Fosters had 13 participants and provided almost 90 sessions. Hopefully with your support, we can make a difference in more lives.
