Buckets & Feeders
Buckets & Feeders for Horses
From the stall to the trailer, Valley Vet Supply has the feeding and watering equipment horse owners use every day. Shop feed pails, water buckets, troughs, and hay bags built for barn and road. Find durable options sized for your horse or your whole herd.
Types of Horse Buckets & Feeders
Feed pails and troughs handle daily grain and forage, water buckets and trailer tanks keep your horse hydrated at home or on the road, and hay bags and racks help cut down on waste.
Choosing the Right Feeder Setup
Stall-mounted feeders save floor space, while freestanding options offer more flexibility. Choose a capacity that matches your herd size and a build that holds up to daily use.
Maintaining Buckets & Feeders
Clean buckets and feeders regularly to prevent mold and algae buildup, and plan ahead for winter care; insulated or heated options help prevent water from freezing.
FAQs
What size water bucket do I need per horse?
Most horses drink 5 to 10 gallons of water a day, so a bucket in that range, refreshed regularly, works well for most stalls.
Can hay bags reduce feed waste?
Yes. Hay bags and slow feeders help keep hay off the ground and reduce trampling and waste compared to feeding on the stall floor.
Are trailer water tanks compatible with all trailers?
Most tanks are designed to fit standard trailer mounting points, but check your trailer's dimensions and hardware before purchasing to confirm fit.
