Horse pooped in her water bucket

Me too! I pee in the trailer at horse shows!

hey @Joanne if this is an issue happening a lot at the facility, you could show the owner a new type of automatic waterer called the EasyClean. It’s made by company called Horseproof. I know a couple people using these and they love them. Makes it way easier to clean out the water every day. I hope this helps. I just googled it and https://www.horseproofmfg.com/ is the website.

@JesseG I left that barn. Thanks for letting us know about the EasyClean.

That happened twice in my donkeys’ stall this winter. Of course it was below zero both times. I cleaned it as soon as I saw it. Even if it wasn’t my animals that did such a thing, I can’t imagine not solving the problem right away. Dump, rinse, refill, raise the water bucket higher by putting it on top of an upside down tub to make it harder to poop in. The last thing you want is for poop to “cook” all day in a heated tub. Why is that so hard?

Leaving it for the owner is just passive aggressive nonsense no one needs to deal with. You did the right thing by moving. That sounds like resentfulness spilling over into an attitude toward your horse.
