Ok- does anyone have any recommendations on a SOLAR outdoor fan that could be hung in a run in shelter for two horses? (Running electricity to it is just not an option

I've tried this website and this sounds like EXACTLY what I'm wanting  https://westernharmonics.com/Solar-Hanging-Fan-With-100-Watt-Rigid-Solar-Panel but he's basically a one man show and they are out of stock for the foreseeable future. (Spoke to the guy on the phone last week - SUPER nice

 

I have a barn with fans in stalls but my barn just gets so hot and stuffy in the afternoons (despite 30 inch wall mount fans in stalls and a drum fan in the aisle of the barn running continuously) and i honestly like them turned OUT as much as possible. 

 

Thanks!!

If your horses are anything like mine.... you'll go thru all the effort to do these nice things to try to help keep them cool and they'll just stand out in the blazing sun away from all the fans and misters and shade from the barn anyway.

Sorry I'm not much help on any other ideas. I just gave up on mine .. Best I can do is place their feed buckets right under the fans and that's the most they'll actually use them.. until they finish eating. My husband keeps talking about installing those whirly-bird exhaust thingy-s that helps move out the hot air from the barn  on the roof or side of it. One of these years.. it may get done  . Good luck! I find just going out and giving fresh cool water throughout the day seems to keep them pretty content.
