Operating a therapeutic riding center requires a delicate balance of care, efficiency, and reliability. Missy, a program manager at a therapeutic riding center in California recently shared her experience using Cascada automatic waterers, highlighting the profound impact they’ve had on her horses and facility. Here’s what she had to say about making the switch to Cascada.
The Challenge: Managing Hydration in a Busy Facility
"We are a busy facility, and we rely heavily on a few full-time employees and many volunteers," she explained. Keeping the horses hydrated was always a priority, but traditional methods were time-consuming and unreliable. Past attempts at using automatic waterers had proven frustrating: "We had tried auto waterers in the past and found them to be difficult to maintain, and we were always concerned the horses were not getting enough water."
The Solution: Cascada Automatic Waterers
Cascada automatic waterers offered the perfect solution. Designed for equine facilities, they addressed the specific challenges of hydration tracking and maintenance. Missy detailed the benefits she’s experienced since installing Cascada:
-
Ease of Use and Maintenance: "We wanted something easy to dump and clean, which these buckets are. We also didn’t want to rely on a float system, which we’ve found difficult to maintain."
-
Time Savings: "We are saving so much time by not having to fill large water buckets and not having to repair other automatic watering systems."
-
Health Insights: "I have a new understanding of how much each horse is drinking and appreciate being able to know if something changes in their routine."
The Cascada Difference
Missy and team first installed five Cascada units nearly two years ago, replacing a mix of regular water buckets and older automatic waterers, and have since added more to their facility. The installation process was straightforward, and Missy shared a valuable tip: "Hang the bucket lower than you might feel inclined to make it easier for the horses to get their heads in the bucket to drink."
When a challenge arose, Cascada’s customer service proved invaluable. "Issues were addressed quickly and efficiently, either by sending new parts or having a phone call to talk me through the issues," she noted.
Favorite Features
Missy highlighted several features that have made Cascada a standout choice for her facility:
-
Easy Cleaning: The buckets are simple to remove and clean.
-
Reliable Performance: Few repairs or updates have been needed since installation.
-
Hydration Tracking: "Being able to track how much water the horses are getting has been a game-changer."
-
User-Friendly App: "The app is easy to use and helps track how much the horses are drinking."
