I was actually thinking of doing this. In the summer I used of of our stock tanks to hold gold fish while I cleaned out their pond. It was a big job so I hook up a filter system and pump with a big rubber maid to keep them clean while they were in there. For cleaning sake alone, I’d be stupid...

We had to replace as well.Our electrical is still a work in progress. The man before us didn’t have a clue what he was doing. So we have been ‘cleaning’ it up and minimizing. We put in 4 GFCI’s and I would still like to replace the rest of the outlets....little by little right lol I was...

Question for stock tank heaters. Anyone run one off an extension cord, the extension cord being plugged into ground receptacle? ..

I will price around before deciding for sure! This seemed a wee steep! I can live with what I have if it gets us through that deep frost. This is what I’m waiting for. If not I’ll likey price these out and go for it. We have the stock tanks and then I use the rubbermaid muck buckets from our...

Yes, I was thinking that. Im wondering if this could be in replace of what’s connected to the main currently. Hmmmm. Glad I posted regarding water in winter!

Since doing what we’ve done to the main, I think I’ve semi solved our problem; for now anyways. We will see when temps drop below the -20 -30 marker! I don’t think much will keep anything from freezing at that point. One day my ponies and I will retire somewhere warm haha I always attempt to...

What makes these frost free? It looks like it would freeze to me? Also I assume this is connected directly to the well line somehow? There wasn’t much of a discription

I will have to google these frost free hydrants

Yes that’s what I have it plugged into, as I had mentioned. I’m not to sure who would try to force any plug anywhere, but lord help them. Anyhow. I’ll re read regarding the extra grounding spike it’s referring too. Maybe this is not necessary when using a GFCI. I am more so curious as to how...

I tried to order bucket cozies but couldn’t find a Canadian company or one that delivers to Canada :(

Question for your stalk tank. I plugged my heater into a safety receptacle but in the directions it was mentioned a method of grounding beyond the safety receptacle. Did you simply plug yours in as I did? I’ve never used one before. I also took some of our plastic tubing (we use under ground to...

hey y’all Just curious as to how you all keep your water mains from freezing in your barns. Our barn has a make shift water system. Our water is pumped from the well, the previous owner installed hoses along the ceiling which was SO convenient during the warm weather. Direct water to the...

This is how our mini mare was after foaling. She became very pushy and dominate. She didn’t even like the other horses at the fence line near her. She was not this way prior too. I def. think it’s a protection thing. Ensuring everyone in the herd knows to back off she means business. She calmed...

Thanks! I wish we could take them on hikes!! There’s a great trail by us. But I’d have to cross a very busy road to get to it. When we first got Willow, I use to take her to the bus stop to wait on the kids with me and we use to walk the perm. Of the 100 acres surrounding us of fields. However...

Our Star (1) does this with anything she can! I find it funny

Hi, thanks! That’s reassuring to hear. Because this was going to be my plan. My worry was how long they will fight the Poll before giving in and standing there peacefully. Or how long I will hold out before caving in. Willow (2) will stand so long as your not trying to groom or handle her...

hey everyone Looking to obtain some advice, and or insight. Our girls are young 2 & 1 both May babies. Over the last year I was pregnant with god awful 24/7 morning sickness. This left my yearling to do her thing with very little handling. We are now reaching winter which limits ground...

I do think it’s prob. Not nessecary for our girls either. They do have thick beautiful coats already and they are still thickening up. Not to mention they are heavy healthy girls. I suppose I was just worried about the younger one. But even still she’s so active that on the coldest days I’m sure...

I actually thought this the other day. They are young, I don’t want to interfere with their bodies ability to produce a heavy winter coat also I thought about the matting down when my daughter came home with hat head. This I don’t want either. Last winter we brought them in every night this...

This is a great idea!
