It is a sand point. They travel easily and can be driven into the ground without much equipment.

A submersible hand pump can pump water from greater depths without electricity.

We have a sand point waterwell. It's not deep enough to be safely potable, but we water our yard and garden with it. It has a pretty hefty pump on it...the first time we turned it on, we just had one sprinkler on it...one of those oscillating fan-like sprinklers. It shot the water WAY WAY over our house and was going ninety miles an hour! That's when we learned we had to hook 2-3 sprinklers to it.

Ahh! - Thanks! - I suppose I should have one of those! - But alas... I do not! - If I really ended up in super survival mode, there is a big pond within walking distance that the horses could drink from. Course, I could lead them there, but I couldn't make them drink.
