All our 22 stables have automatic drinker. They have a drain plug in the bottom - makes cleaning easy. Obviously when the water pipes to the stables freeze it's a problem. The valves in the ball cock have small plastic washers which become damaged due to ice, then when the pipes thaw the ball...

Passport should be kept with horse, but I understand your concern. My liveries give me a photocopy of their horse's passports so I can show any inspector that they have one. The law says that you must be able to produce the original within 4 hours of an inspector's request, so as long as...
