This is a very old myth that still persists today. It was once thought that letting a hot horse drink large amounts of cold water would cause cramps and colic. New research disputes this and proves it is a myth. If you are still weary of giving a hot horse large amounts of cold water then you can either give them a small bucket of cool to tepid water or walk them around and cool them off, as you walk them let them stop each time you pass a bucket of water on the ground or a trough and let them drink for a few seconds and move on again.
