Do you consider the importance of hydration when your in the arena, or out on the trail? Not just for your horse, but for yourself too. If you don't, you really should.

One of the most common nutrition concerns for equestrian athletes, particularly when training out in the heat, is hydration.
How many of you consider your water intake to be a top priority when preparing to go out on the horse? If you don’t, I hope that I can convince you otherwise in the next few paragraphs!
One of the best ways to see if you body is well hydrated is to monitor the colour of your urine. You should be aiming for a pale yellow colour most of the time (first thing in the morning will always be a little darker).
If your urine is clear, you can back off the water a little but if it is dark yellow or brown, drinking a glass of water should be your top priority!
