Why Use the Cozy?

With COZY

Without COZY

The two results in these pictures were obtained using 5 gallon flat back buckets - one with a cozy, one without. The water initially put in the buckets was 52 degrees. After 8 hours of hanging outside on the fence, in 17 degree weather with a 15 mile an hour wind, the bucket with a cozy had just a bare skimming of ice. Your horse could still drink the water! The one without the cozy had a thick layer of ice. You or your barn staff would need a hammer to break it! In addition the bucket was coated with ice on the inside. You or your barn staff would have to take the time to remove the ice or the new water you add, will be colder and freeze faster. That means more work and /or paid time without the cozy. Day after day this can really add up! Even more importantly your horse or your boarder's horse will have access to water for a much longer time in the cold, when you use the cozy! That reduces the horse's colic risk dramatically! AND gives you a better night's sleep with less worry about you or your border's horse! These results can be acheived without additional electric costs! On colder nights - just add more hot water and your cozy will do the job!
