Best Answer

It depends on your area. How ever if you make sure that there are no chemicals that will get into the water, that there are no leaves and other objects on the surface of the water, and the water doesn't look cloudy or toxic, it should be fine. Horses drink out of puddles all the time. I don't think rain water is going to hurt them.
