Many parks, hiking trails, mountains, and horse trails have horse water fountains for the horses to drink water. As this horse water fountains have water inside, many nearby animals use this water as their water supply. Animals like birds, squirrels, deer’s, racoons, and many more use this horse fountains as their main water supply. So as you may guess when their isn’t a horse for a while what happens is this water finishes. When the water finishes now the animals that are used to drinking water from it, have no water to drink. This could result in many deaths to animals in all types of species.

Fill it up with water

So, What to do when you come across a Horse Water Fountain is pretty simple. Just fill it up with water so all animals have water to drink and survive. Many times there isn’t a person with a horse around to fill it up with water. So when you are ever in the park, or trails and come across this horse water fountains. Press it and fill it up with water so this animals could drink and hydrate. Most of the time you will realize that this fountains are nearly empty. By filling it up with water you are taking care of this animals and also the environment.

Animals will Thank You!

Horse water fountains come in all forms, types, and sizes. But regardless what size or form it is they have water filled up and are ready for drinking. Horses drink this water and so do local animals that made it their water supply. Please provide care and support for all animals to drink by adding more water into it. After you fill it up with water you will walk away being thanked by all animals that drink from it. 🙂

If its broken contact them to fix it

Just a reminder if you ever come across a horse water fountain and its not working. Then don’t leave it alone, its best to contact the park or trail or the city so they can fix this fountain. Look at the pipes and see if you can find a switch somewhere because many times this switch is the ON and OFF for the water. If the switch is OFF, turn it ON and press to see if water comes out. If its fully broken then just contact them so they fix it. Its better for it to be fixed ASAP so all the horses including all animals have water to hydrate.

And I wanted to say when you press for the water. Press and hold it for a while, maybe around 30 to 45 seconds so the old dirty water gets replaced by new cold water. This way all animals have a fresh water to drink.

Anyway this is something I just wanted to give a heads up about so if you ever come across a horse water fountain to pay attention to it. fill it up with water to help the animals to hydrate and survive. Sometimes by doing little things like this you are providing a huge support that you never knew or thought about. And the animals will thank you for this. 🙂
