I had a brilliant idea!

[Auslander]

The gremlins are already rather hot, and my evaporative cooler needs to run a full tank or water/vinegar through, as it hasn't been used since last summer, and it's a bit musty smelling.
I decided that running it outdoors was a good idea, and that pointing it at the hot gremlins was an even better idea.
They absolutely agree!

Brilliant

Genius!

I've actually had 2 brilliant ideas this week! This is the other one - £10 on Amazon, and it works an absolute charm on anything that you usually fill with a hose. I now have about 90% of my water buckets/troughs filling automatically, and I'll do the last one as soon as I've stopped the tap leaking from the top when it's turned on

Careful, they’ll be demanding air conditioned fields on a regular basis now.
Failure to provide air con could impact your Trip Advisor rating.

I just know that if I did that, it would be used as a fun new toy at the first opportunity causing a flood.

Yeah - I'm not 100% convinced that I trust my lot, so I'm turning the taps off at night. The one on my big trough is a side inlet one, and pretty secure, as we drilled a 20mm hole in the trough, then fitted it with the inlet pipe through the hole and the hose attachments fitted on the outside. The gremlins one is a top inlet, and \i have drilled two small holes in their tank and cable tied it to the side. No damage so far, but that could just be because they are petrified of it. They keep going back to look at it, and have a quick slurp, so I'm confident that they'll get over themselves by the time they've emptied the 40l bucket a bit further along the fenceline!

You'll need one of these too - screws onto the water inlet so you can connect it to a hose

You absolute moron! Do you know what you have done?!?! Not only will you now have 2 ponies expecting, neigh, DEMANDING!!! Air conditioned fields they will speak to their pony network and soon every horse and pony up and down the land will be demanding air conditioned fields!

You really have screwed us all over!!!



I do love how they are standing there lapping it up!

I've taken it back now! Thankfully they have new hay balls to play with, so they've forgotten about the aircon!

Oh dear Sweet Aus, they haven't forgotten, they are plotting
