I used to bring my hose inside inbetween uses in the winter. Big hassle, big wet, snowy hose! Now I just drain it well and leave in on the ground between the tap (unhooked of course) and the trough I need to fill. I put the ends over a bush or stick them in the fence, etc. so I can find them in the snow! If you drain the hose well you don't need to bring it in. If you don't get it drained well and it gets ice in it, wind it into a feed bucket or water bucket, run cold water over it, let it sit five minutes or so to loosen up the ice. Attach the hose to the tap, turn it on to full flow and blow out the ice. Cheryl Sand Creek Icelandics Icelandic Horses & Icelandic Sheepdogs website: www.toltallyice.com
