Meet Carter and Laura Hilliard with Hilliard Estate and Land Management. HELM is your Drinking Post dealer and installer, located in Charlottesville, VA specializing in designing and implementing projects relating to all aspects of land and farm management, including hobby farms and working farms. They were first turned on to these waterers while visiting a client’s farm and seeing the ease of installation and lack of watering issues all livestock owners are familiar with. These waterers rarely need to be cleaned, but more importantly, they never freeze! Carter and Laura own and care for several horses, ponies and dogs on their farm, along with their two girls, Bea and Annie. Contact them today to take a look at this great product!
Why Drinking Post?
Drinking Post is a premium automatic waterer for horses and livestock. It’s unique because it fills and drains with each use. Each time your animal pushes the paddle, they get fresh water directly from the line. The magic of the Drinking Post is that it drains after each use, leaving the unit completely empty and devoid of standing, stagnant water.
Save money, save water, and save your time!
Drinking Post is Different
It solves watering problems that others can't.
The Drinking Post is unique because it fills and drains with each use, so there’s never any standing water! Other waterers like troughs, tanks, and buckets have a reservoir of standing water that the animal drinks from. This reservoir causes most watering problems – it grows algae, collects dirt and debris, attracts bugs and bacteria, and provides a breeding ground for water-borne illnesses. With the Drinking Post, all the water drains away (and all those problems with it!).

Installation
The Drinking Post functions and installs like a frost-free yard hydrant. The most important parts of the installation are (1) making sure the base of your Post sits 18″ below the frostline, and (2) making sure your leach field is big enough. Because the Drinking Post is so similar to a yard hydrant, any outdoor plumber or excavator can easily install it. Please read our Installation Guide before getting started.
