We tried both a wooden and a chickenwire cage for over the top of the
tank. Wee Willy took off with the wire one day and the Fjords ate a
hole in the wood. I was afraid the splinters would hurt them so I took
off the wooden top. I'm thinking about that plastic wood this year?
I'll have to try the rubber duckies too. And stand by with a camera!

OH yeah, we have that problem too. Seems the Fjords just can't resist playing
with the cool floaty thing in the tank. So.... Dad has constructed a "Fjord
Proof" wooden cover which covers about 1/2 the tank, with a chicken wire
screen that goes all the way down to the bottom of the tank so that the
heater is safely contained where the horses cannot get to it. (we have the
regular oblong shaped metal stock tanks)
With one very persistent filly we used to have, we had to resort to also
putting a hot wire around the edge of the wood cover so she wouldn't grab
that with her teeth and pull it off.
If you ever want to have some fun in the summer, try putting some rubber
ducks in the stock tank! But, be prepared to keep retrieving them from the
ground and putting them back in the water......
