Question
hello ma'am,  here in india, we store drinking water in a big copper vessel and in the morning, we drink that water, its said that who ever drinks water from copper vessel doesnt get cancer in their life. can i do the same for horses. i would surely store fresh drinking water in a big copper container over a night and provide them in the morning. what would you say?

Answer
Hi Rohit,

Thank you for your question.  I'm not familiar with this practice, but I'm sure that if it does not create any health problems for people that it will be fine for horses as well.  Of course, you're going to want to ensure that the water stays as fresh as possible...as horses can be a little fussy about drinking water.  I don't foresee a danger in providing the water to horses.

Thanks, Corlena
