Horses Who Want Sweetened Water.

The people of the Philippines are very careful of their ponies and horses. They never allow them to drink pure water If they can help it, and invariably mix it with honey. The result la that no European cap go on a horseback jaunt without a bag of sugar or honey. The native horses will not drink from the purest mountain brook unless It Is sweetened. This shows the power of horse education, even on the other side of the world.
