Water Buckets and Automatic Horse Waterers

The Different Types of Horse Water Buckets

Your horse needs access to clean water to stay healthy, and there are different types of water buckets to help you provide your horse drinking water without any worry. From a horse water trough to an automatic horse waterer, finding the right hydration solution for your horse is key to maintaining optimal health and performance.

• A normal 8-20qt horse water bucket is fine in most situations, but if it gets knocked over or the temps drop suddenly, your horse could go without water for hours.


• On the market today, you can find an automatic horse waterer that controls the flow for one or several horses, taking a step up from a traditional horse water trough.


• Heated water buckets let you stay on top of weather changes, both inside the stable and out in the pasture, without wasting time lugging around heaters.


• If you tend to travel with your horse, you can find a horse trailer water tank that you can bring in your truck or trailer with you.
