For what it's worth, I dated a girl that was a barrel racer and had 4 horses. It seems like she had some little contraptions that she hooked onto the water buckets in the winter to keep them from freezing.
As I remember they were just an 8" piece of wire and a tube that ran out of a plastic case that held a D size battery. I think the wire heated up and the tube circulated the water a bit ???
I know she used to replace the batteries about every two weeks.
I honestly dont know if it was something that her dad came up with and built in his garage, or if they can be purchased at a store that sells tack like IFA or A.A. Callisters.
I hate horses and always avoided going out to the barn like the plague !
Hope it helps...
