How Cascada Equine is checking all the boxes with their automatic watering system for your horse WORDS: APRIL BILODEAU
HYDR ATION IS ONE OF THE
most important elements in every horse’s daily activity. How we keep our horses hydrated, however, has evolved greatly over the years. While some barns opt for the old fashioned five-gallon buckets with multiple refills from the hose or hydrant daily, some have added automatic waterers to their list of amenities. With so many options on the market it can be difficult to choose which one is right for your farm. Cascada Automatic Waterers have elevated the experience for horses and barn owners alike, addressing some of the common woes with other watering systems. DESIGNED FOR HORSES BY HORSE PEOPLE Cascada officially launched in 2023 as a second product to the well known Lighthoof, an equine mud management system. “We worked on this for five years before coming up with the Cascada,” Kelly Munro, co-founder of Cascada, tells The Plaid Horse. “We tried current offerings and figured out what we liked and didn’t like about products.” Munro and her husband, an electrical engineer, worked with horse owners, pulling market research to determine common woes with other automatic waterers.
