You could buy a 12V inverter which would provide 240V power up to 150W
for £25 from www.towsure.co.uk (for example) and plug your mains
adapter into that. This would be of perhaps more use long term and
wouldn't require any work and would be quick!

Interesting idea. I need one fast, but Halfords are doing them for
£27.99 according to their website. They should be safe around horses,
shouldn't they? It's not got the oomph of a normal 240v supply, after
all.

It's got more than enough oomph to kill anyone, if 240 will kill a horse.

With a human, a few watts are enough, and these are capable of hundreds.

What about the fact that it would be outdoors in an unfavourable
climate, i.e. misty and windy, would it mind that?

The ones I've seen ain't weatherproof.
