Does your horse like the water at shows?

Just got back from 6 days at a wonderful horse show and we had a marvelous time. There was a wrinkle however and I am hoping for answers to the problem here. Some of the horses who were blessed with good water at home, many from the south,  colicked on the hard VT water. Our pony was fine, but we in NH are not so blessed and thought the water up there "mighty fine!" So, does anyone have any remedies for travelling horses short of bringing your own water truck? I will do some more research and try to add to this post myself.

I have heard of people adding, believe it or not, Metamucil to their horses water. Ginger ale has always been a go to. I believe they now even make additives for water, but have never tried them. If anyone has any thoughts, solutions or ideas. Let me know. Inquiring minds being what they are.
