OK, someone out there has to know of a way to set up a pressure switch so when you, or our horse, steps on the switch the water will turn on but when you step off the switch the water will stop. My thoughts are to have such a switch under a 2'x2' sheet of plywood and when the horse steps on the plywood the valve will open and let water flow to misters or a drip irrigation type sprinkler head that will cool off the horse. I know I may have to put stops so the switch/valve doesn't get squished to much by the weight of the horse.
This time of summer we get 100* temps and although the horse has shaded areas I thought he might enjoy a cool spritz from time to time. I know, kind of goofy but it might make an interesting project. If perfected it may also be useful for dogs or other critters.
