You just need to check for voltage between the waterer and earth ground. If you have a ground stake close use it for the one side of your meter. If not I have driven a pin into the ground to check for stray voltage. I have also just made a mud puddle where I could reach it with one end of my meter for the earth ground.
Remember that your horse is standing barefoot on the ground and is touching the waterer with his mouth that is wet. He is a good conductor of electric. That is why they are sensitive to it.
DO not touch it barefoot like the smart butt below stated!!! If it is a very high voltage you could kill yourself. It does not take much voltage in your upper body to stop your heart or cause an irregular heart beat.
Had an person killed with a bad ground on a welder. He was working on a manure spreader while his brother was welding on the other side. The ground cable end was bad. It lost contact right as the guy was holding on to the spreader. Killed him right then.
