KD-120E 18 Qt Flat Back Horse Bucket | Best Everyday Feed & Water Bucket

Racehorse Roots. Everyday-Barn Value.

K&D began around Thoroughbreds in Texas and New Mexico, where powerful, impatient horses and nonstop barn routines expose weak equipment fast. The lesson was simple: a bucket should do its job repeatedly, fit the space well, and not become another disposable barn expense.

The KD-120E carries that practical thinking into an economical 18-quart Silver Line bucket for barns that need dependable feed and water buckets in quantity.
