Did you know?
A single horse can use around 180 litres of water every day for drinking and soaked hay alone. For many owners, that equates to around £200 per horse each year before washing, yard cleaning or other uses are included.
Is rainwater harvesting right for your yard?
Many horses prefer drinking rainwater to mains water and many horse owners use far more water than they realise. Water used to soak hay, wash down, fill buckets and troughs all adds up. This contributes to rising water bills and in some cases, puts strain on the availablilty of drinking water for humans. In this webinar, you'll discover how rainwater harvesting can help reduce reliance on mains water while supporting horse welfare. Whether you have two horses at home or manage a larger equestrian business, you'll learn what options are available and how they could work for your yard.
