10 Pasture Waterers to the Rescue for the Humane Society of the United States
"The Equuspring waterers were our first choice in pasture waterers for the Doris Day Horse Rescue and Adoption Center. Our research showed that the Equuspring waterers are very durable, are designed for the safety of the horses, are easy to clean and offer a deep fresh water supply. They will save considerable staff time and will ensure the horses always have cool, clean water available."

Equuspring Automatic Pasture Waterer for Horses
Heated and Non-Heated Pasture Waterer for Horses by 
The large cone shaped molded EQUUSPRING has become the leader in function and design. Since 1984, with many improvements along the way our waterers have proven to be safe and reliable. The EQUUSPRING has smooth, rounded edges and a circular design to protect livestock from the injuries common with conventional metal and concrete waterer, and the ultra smooth surface retards algae growth. No weld, no seams to break. An optional insulated EQUUSPRING, with an electric heater keeps water ice-free in subzero temperatures.

Pasture Waterer Features
- Any horse owner who wishes to provide clear, clean water to their horse in a pasture setting automatically would benefit from an Equuspring pasture waterer. Horse operation managers and owners who have used Equuspring pasture waterers like them so much they put them in wherever they go, or when expanding their operation with more land or horses. If you need an automatic pasture waterer, the Equuspring has all the features you need to provide fresh, safe, controlled, dependable water to your horses.
-
Our goal at Equuspring is to provide fresh water automatically to horses as they need it in the field. We are determined to produce the best, most economical pasture waterer on the market today. We accomplished this by identifying the most important features a pasture waterer needs. We have identified the top concerns of horse owners requiring a dependable pasture waterer and with this information, are able to produce a waterer that combines all of them.
- Safe A horse pasture waterer should be safe, with no sharp edges or angles that a horse can snag with their mouth, foot, tail, or any body part. The Equuspring is constructed with no sharp angles. It is completely round so there is very little chance a horse could become snagged on it. The shape of the Equuspring provides another safety feature because the bottom is much larger than the top. This design feature is important because it makes it very difficult for the horse to tip or move the waterer. It is suggested that every waterer be staked to the ground for additional stability.
- Design The top of the waterer should to be tall enough that horses cannot easily get their feet into it and possibly become injured. The Equuspring waterer is a vast improvement over ground-level troughs and bathtubs which are often difficult to clean and in some instances low enough for a horse to put foot into. The way the Equuspring is designed, it would be difficult for the horse to do, since the top of the waterer is 36 inches tall and 53 inches around at the bottom. This is substantially taller than the average cast iron bathtub. The Equuspring pasture horse waterer is designed by horse owners for horse owners.
- Durable and Dependable The waterer should be able to withstand abuse such as horses kicking it. The plastic used to make the Equuspring pasture waterer is resistant to UV rays, giving it the ability to be very durable to sunlight, providing a proven 20 years and beyond of service. We have improved the design based upon customer feedback by making the walls thicker to be more rugged, especially along the areas subject to kicking and abuse.
- There are several basic features a good automatic horse pasture waterer should have. When purchasing a waterer, the buyer should be aware of safety, water control, design, maintenance, durability, and dependability. The Equuspring horse pasture waterer is produced to include all of these features.
- Modern horse pasture waterer technology has come a long way from the memories some of us have of the horse trough on our grandfather’s farm made from rock and concrete, with water supplied by a windmill. A long time ago that was one of the only methods available to provide an automated method of delivering fresh, clear water to horses. The Equuspring raises the bar for a new era in pasture water technology.
- Water Control We use a valve to control water level in the horse waterer that is exactly the same as the one used in millions of homes to control water level in toilet tanks; it does not use a float, but opens and closes dependent upon the water level. The water level may be adjusted using the built-in adjusting screw. The pre-determined setting of the valve establishes the water level with a capacity of over 30 gallons.
- Maintenance The Equuspring has a smooth plastic surface inside the bowl. This smooth surface makes cleaning easy with a plastic brush. The height of the water bowl makes cleaning much easier than any ground-level bathtub. “Dirty” water is removed by pulling a 3” diameter rubber expansion plug from the bottom, allowing the water to drain onto the ground under the Equuspring. Fresh water then flows into the bowl and continues until the level is reached and then shuts off. Any existing mosquito larvae are flushed completely away during the draining process because the drain is in the absolute bottom of the bowl.
- Options A heated model is available for cold climates. It uses household 120 volt AC current.
- Guaranteed All waterers are guaranteed for one year.
