>Santa came early to me and my endurance Arabian, Miad, here in frigid north
Georgia. He brought us a bucket heater for Miad's 20 gallon water bucket,
cause he knew I was toting a 5 gallon jug of hot water to the barn twice a
day!!  For those of you who,like me, don't have running water at the barn,
this heater is a lifesaver. We hooked it to a long extension cord off the
house, and I plug it in for an hour in the morning, and his water stays
thawed all day now.  He is drinking alot more now, and I don't worry so much
about colic.  Maybe it's not too late to put this on your Christmas list.
You can also use it to heat water for sponging, cleaning tack, etc.  Happy
holidays to all y'all, and see you on the endurance trails in 2001.

Be SURE to use a metal bucket.  There was recently a fire in NJ that
destroyed many horses!

If a plastic runs dry the heater could ignite it.
