Truly the Better Bucket!, 5/7/2012

JESS from Oregon

This bucket is great! I used to have a rubber feed pan that sat on the ground for my horse's grain, but he was always moving/playing with it, and it would get full of bedding, etc., and it was hard to clean. Also, if I had to give him bute or any other medication, he would tip the bucket over and pick around the medication. This bucket has fixed those problems. There's no wasted grain and he always gets all his meds!

Great Bucket, 4/23/2012

Sarah E. W from Clovis, NM

Why did I not order these sooner? I have no more wasted grain, and nothing gets tossed around. My QH feels so comfortable eating out of them!

good idea, bad design, 4/16/2012

Erin from So. California

For the price I expected a "better buck" design and quality. The handle atachment hardware is cheap and thin. It bends and allows the handle to pop out of the bucket hardware. Then it's next to imposible to get it back in without tools and forcing it back in. My horse had it off the wall in one day with the handle and hardware detached. Bucket was fine but after putting it back together he did it again. Cheap thin plates hold the metal loop on the bucket for the handle to attach and thats what gets pulled through the slots and there goes your handle.

Awesome Bucket, 2/16/2012

Kim from Fl

My guy doesn't have to shake his bucket for the feed any more. BUT they do need to work on the handle as it is an accident waiting to happen! Duct tape or electrical, just watch the hooks!

Hazardous Bucket, 2/10/2012

1771Clinton from portland, or

These buckets are not safe. Where the wire handle bends after connecting with the plastic bucket, it? does not pinch shut. One horse at our barn got his nose pinched in it and ripped as he struggled to get free. My horse has got two blankets caught in this "unclosed pinch" and tore them both up. DO NOT buy these buckets.

Stands up to Its Name, 1/11/2012

Maudiehorse from Buckeye, AZ

Only 1 flaw I can find which are the plastic covers on the ends of the handles. Most fell off in just 1 or 2 feedings. I wrapped ends w/duct tape. Other than that, these buckets are great.

Really Love the Bucket - NOT Spillproof, Though!, 1/4/2012

Hannah from Southeast, LA

This really is a nice bucket; very easy for my horse to get his head in to! However, he really enjoys slinging it around and still manages to dump his feed out. (Which I bought it to fix...) Either way, I really love the design and plan on using it on my mare as soon as I get him a new bucket!

L-O-V-E this bucket, and so does my horse!, 11/26/2011

CGR1956 from northern New Mexico

My horse got to quit pushing her grain around and around and around her round feed pan, and on top of that there seems to be very little waste (from her dribbling) grain. I love this. Bought a large one to begin with and then ordered a small one too.

Better than the avg. bucket, 11/17/2011

Patty from Long Island, NY

Thought the idea a great one, though still think the handle could be worked on a little more, as I found my horse's brow still hits off it while enjoying his favorite meal :o)

Greatest idea, 7/22/2011

stefanie from orlando gl

Horses can't get their faces in the other buckets and they would rub. This is the best idea ever. Very sturdy bucket. Genius!!
