Just a quick reminder to everyone to check their horses water source daily. Remember, an adult horse can drink upwards of 20 - 30 gallons of water per 24 hours...especially when being fed hay and of course if the weather is warm. Also, a trick for keeping large water tanks clean is to put goldfish in the tank. They eat the algae and will keep the tank clean. If you use this trick however, be sure to remove any dead ones immediately as they will "sour" the water & the horse(s) will stop drinking. Other than that, this trick works great. Also good to know, if you have a small automatic waterer or a small trough, I found that the birds will go fishing & you will quickly lose all your fish...but the birds will be happy.
