How many horses are there? Would the barn let you use them or sees them as a fire hazard?( I'm talking about the buckets with the heater built in so the horse can't play with it.)

I just wouldn't ever sleep well at night knowing bucket heaters were on in the barn....maybe I'm just paranoid, because I kow the newer ones are pretty well made but to me they just scream "I want to catch on fire while you are sound asleep!"

I agree about the bucket heaters (I hate automatic waterers in stalls btw, too, but because you can't tell how much they are drinking) We used to go through three or four times day and add hot water to the buckets. The horses loved it, and indeed would slurp that warm water down, they grew to look forward to it.
