Bar-Bar-A Horse and Livestock Drinkers offers a non-electric automatic water source for horses, cattle, sheep, goats, bison, deer, and hogs. With 35 years in the business, they provide clean, safe, fresh water on demand. The waterers eliminate stand- Give Your Pastured Horses Clean Safe Water Year-round ing water that can attract rats and provide a breeding area for mosquitoes. They do not need electricity to keep from freezing in the winter. “We are firm in our belief that animals, water, and electric- ity do not mix,” said Marketing Director Dave Anderson. “We have seen many times where an electric automatic waterer has been the sad reason in either killing an animal or making them sick because of dehydra- tion. Some electrical currents are not detectable to the human hand or current meters but are very noticeable to the animal’s nose and delicate nervous system; causing them to stop drinking. Our units are not only free of these worries but are easy for the animals to learn to use and low maintenance for the caretaker.” Water stays cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Horses drink more be- cause the temperature is always palatable. The waterers are low maintenance, so you can take that worry off your list, and self-cleaning as well. Bar-Bar-A drinkers work in barns as well. Call 800-451-2230 or visit HorseDrinker.com for more information. Tell our advertisers you found them in East Coast Equestrian!
