Heat, work, sweating and feed all play a part: fresh grass contains a lot of moisture, hay almost none. A stabled horse on hay therefore drinks more than the same horse on lush pasture. For a trough you fill yourself: choose the capacity so that, until your next check, there is enough for all the horses in that field, even on a hot day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePoints to note\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePipes and automatic drinkers can freeze in winter, so in frost check that water is really coming through. The protective bracket shields a drinker from knocks and rubbing. Clean drinkers regularly; hay and feed residue quickly make the water murky.
