Barn must-have!
These Gallagher's Water packets are a barn must-have! I use this product during times of stress, drastic temperature changes, after hard workouts, or for horses who are sick. These single serve packets can be mixed into a bucket of water and dissolve easily. I typically mix one packet into 5 gallons of water and feel my horses like that ratio. These packets are easy to store, and I always have a few in my tack trunk, feed room, horse trailer, and vet kit!

Hydration Life Saver
I will never stop recommending this product! Use in the summer after shows/hard workout or in the winter when its too cold and they don’t want to drink! I swear this product has helped stop my horse from having colic episodes from dehydration.

Summertime Life Saver
To be quite honest, I was a little skeptical of using Gallagher’s Water. After all, my ponies can be picky when it comes to liquid forms of supplements. But I had to try it after seeing all the rave reviews and blog posts—am I ever glad I did!
This summer was especially brutal for all of us and having Gallagher’s Water was a life saver. I tried it on my two ponies and a couple of leased horses: there was not one who turned up their nose. I swear each head that dove into the bucket wouldn’t have come out if it had been an endless supply. My gelding even grabbed the bucket and licked every last drop out of it. So appreciative of this lifesaver during the sweltering summer!

Makes a picky horse drink
Amazing! Got this as a prize; my horse, who is still learning to relax when off the farm, immediately drank a full bucket.

Great hydration supplement!
I have hauled horses all over the United States and worked with many years at top level barns in the Show Jumping world. Hydration is so so important. Getting horses to drink unfamiliar water in different locations can be very tricky. I started adding the Gallagher's Water to my routine and the horses love the taste! They seem to think it's a treat and look forward to it. Anything to get them drinking! I always have regular water available but giving them the choice to drink the Gallagher's Water as well has been a wonderful way to increase hydration levels.

Did Not Disappoint
I don’t usually write reviews but this worked so well I had to come write one! My boy doesn’t drink any water when we are not at home, like ANY but I purchased Gallagher’s Water after reading reviews and it did not disappoint. My gelding drank a whole bucket of water after adding the packet. I’m very impressed and will be back for more.

Great item to keep on hand!
I love keeping Gallagher's Water on hand at my barn! I originally purchased Gallagher's Water to pack for shows to help keep my horse hydrated, and encourage drinking. They are packaged individually, so they're extremely easy to pack! I also like having them on hand at the barn for extremely hot weather or in the winter when horses aren't drinking as much. My horse initially took some coaxing before he would try it and sometimes still tries to be a picky drinker, but I keep these on hand to help entice him. Every other horse in my barn drinks water with Gallagher’s Water in it eagerly!

Lead a horse to Gallagher's and they WILL drink
I bought this to have on hand for shows, traveling, or in case of an issue drinking. I finally got around to testing it yesterday and both of my mares give two hooves up! One drank the entire 2-2.5 gallons without lifting her mouth from the water 😳 the other I had to splash a bit to get her to try it but once she did she drank the entire thing, only stopping to give an occasional Flehman's response. I highly recommend getting this to have in your trailering kit, emergency supplies, etc - if you need them to drink, this will work!
