Hello all,
We have a trailer in our backyard. Last day I was watering my horse, but the water was brown in color. I happened to know that it's because of rust or sediment after reading this article http://www.advancedplumbing.ca/blog/general-category/possible-cause... My mother said that it's okay to give the horse the rusty water since they eat grass with dirt in it. But I am not very sure about it. Is it recommendable to give horse the rusty water??

I have rusty water at times and it is messy and stinks. I am told it is safe to drink but I choose not to do so....... as do my horses. So, it is likely safe for the horses but I doubt they drink it.

Ask your mother if she would drink it..... I'm really funny about clean water, buckets and troughs.... Clorox Bleach is my friend.
