Thank you all!

Heidi,Heidi said:I like the sheep tanks, too. I even keep one for my large horse in the summer specifically because I can exchange the water more frequently. I use the tall tank in the winter to keep the heater fully submerged and away from inquisitive diving expeditions. This also helps if my pipes freeze up and I can't get the water to run outdoors for a few days, the larger tank will ensure that she has enough water until it runs free again.
The sheep tank size holds plenty of water for 2 horses, and for 2 minis I imagine you'd need to fill it, or dump and fill it, every couple (2-5) days at least. I like to add fresh water daily. If it starts to look contaminated from dropped grasses or feed, I don't fill it until it gets down low enough for me to dump it, scrub and refill.
This winter I'll have the husband put in a ball-valve so I can drain and clean it whenever I want.
