Re: [RC] solution to horses dumping water - Dot Wiggins
This works well for a friend whose horse loves to
splash in the tanks. She gets in with both front feet and paws water
everywhere. she's destroyed more than one water heater in the
winter.
I think the platform is about a foot high, hard to
get a foot in it.
I have placed a tank under a fence with just enough
room sticking out to get a drink while the tank is at least half
full.
don't know how large your troughs are, but 50 to 75
gallon tanks can be set up on cinder blocks (about 1 foot high). This raises
the trough and the horses are less likely to have as much fun putting their
legs and feet in it. Worked for a large draft horse I had who could destroy
anything. and allowed the gold fish to survive.
