I have water and food in the barn for my mousers. They keep the mice away from all the equipment etc. The water bowl is insulated bottom and sides - however, the top is fully open. I keep the ice away with a 5 watt night light bulb placed under the bowl, between the bowl and the bottom insulation. Around 10 degrees the bowl will ice over and there will be a hole licked through the ice to the liquid water below. This effectively covers the top and protects the liquid water to zero - the coldest so far this winter.
Yes - I know this is far from a tub to water horses however, as others have posted, the first step is to insulate the tank if you intend to heat it. With 3" of foam on the bottom, sides and the top covered....I would start with a 100 watt heater and work from there. A 100 watt heater will run for 30 hours to use the electricity of two 1.5 KW heaters run for 1 hour.
