I was at the barn tonight and said hello to the new horse again--same leg 
lift, no pawing, just a hold.
Anyways, I gave him a carrot slice and checked his water...empty.  He has an 
automatic water dish but I don't think he knows how to use it--maybe I'm 
ruining his learning curve by filling it for him, but he dives for the water 
and I refill it about 6 times before he's finished.  Orri never learned how 
to use his and the barn owner had to put a different model in, one that has 
a float and refills itself--maybe this new horse will be the same.  
Personally, I think the float models would be a better fit rather than put a 
horse through thrist for days before it learns to get water, or not.
