Those "horse ponds" are plentiful around here too...in fact, one is directly behind where I'm standing which overflows into a wet/dry creek bed towards the left of my pond. Captures all the horse pasture runoffs and is the perfect filter

Thanks...your place don't exactly suck either...great "getaways" from the rat race! On that pic, the pond is bursting over top at a couple of places on the far end...both overflow pipes were partially clogged, and the spring that feeds it (nice flow) doesn't ever stop
. I unclogged the pipes, wind blew in that direction, and the upper 2/3s was clear two days later...I do need to get a rake though...and some sterile grass carp for the growth underneath
