Gene,

Those that feed the house, camper and our neighbor (3 different springs) run whether there has been rain or not.

Roxann, your land is far enough away from mine that I am not sure of your land forms. I have driven through your area and am familiar with surface features but really don't know if you are on karst.

Sandstone is certainly a different aquifer condition than limestone. Would lessen plumbing issues. We have neighbors whose high garden pH is a real problem from decades of irrigation from their deep well.

Having a spring at the top of a mountain would suggest artesian pressure.

I forgot to respond to your horse watering issue. Horses have a narrow diet. Our human diets are rich in minerals from our extensively varied food sources.
