how to make it safe for horses

[ibquackers20]

need some ideas guys,this summer in one of my corrals it seems that their area sprang a leak/lol

for now I had my son dig a rounder hole and sink a round black tub with a spout at the top,I cut a hole in the bottom and drilled a few holes around the sides so the water goes up in the container and out the spout (always fresh)and cold.

I then put pitrun around the area to dry it up. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to make it even better

Cool, what a great idea! Maybe you could fix some nice round stones (fist sized or larger) around the outside, you might be able to concrete them? I think it would look really nice and would make it a bit harder to accidently put a foot in if they are racing around.
