[QUOTE="binky, post: 473094, member: 490"] think I would be more inclined to use hot air than a lamp - you can keep a gretaer distance from the horse. Now 6 250W lamps is 1.5kW which is pushing a 6 Amp cct to its limits, so I would be looking at something like a 16A cct wired in 2.5mm Heat Resistant flex, and all protected by an 30mA RCD. Ensure you have good earthing arrangements, and if possible ensure horse is an an insulating floor covering like a rubber mat - just in case [/QUOTE]
