I had mine about 3/4 full.

Salt water in plastic bottles floating on the top. You need some water in them so they don't just blow away, and to keep them bobbing about. The salt lowers the freezing point and prevents the water in the bottles freezing. There was some ice, but it was thin enough for the horses to break it...

Could he have got sand up there? That might well cause some irritation, especially if he is a bit on the sensitive side.

I had a greyhound with a skinned tail tip. It was about an inch each side and opened up every time he hit something with it - which happened a lot! We even had blood on the ceiling. It was looking like he would have to have an amputation, but someone suggested skincure, and as I had nothing...

We paid over the odds for a badly put together, little cob mare with untreated PPID, recent laminitis, feather mites and sweet itch. She came from a budget dealer (nothing wrong with the dealer) in a bit of a state (probably stress related), having only been with them a few weeks. She is in...
