Rosco Alpha 900s aren't bad, you need to flush the exchanger through on
any smoke machine occasionally. But the cheap Antari ones aren't much
noisier & they're a 1/5th of the price. Try your horses out near them in
an open space first though, it doesn't smell like real smoke so they
normally acclimatise pretty quickly to it, but it's all unique to the
horse.
