Hi Lucie,

 

I tie to the trailer as well or picket. What I use is an 11 gal Flex Tub. I just set it on the ground near the tires. It is flexible so I don't have to worry about them getting hurt on it (theycould lay on it & it would just fold over). I haven't had anyone tip it over yet. Also, it holds 11 gallons so if I fill it at night there's plenty of H2O to get thru the morning. (My mules have been known to drink it pretty close to empty overnight or to hardly drink any--I like that they have the option.)

Flex Tubs are a little harder to find these days but I just saw them in a FarmTek catalog. Their website is www.FarmTek.com

 FWIW

Hi, all, I need some assistance..  I have had for
years on 3 different trailers, put up a wall mounted
bucket holder  (the bucket holder holds the bail of
the bucket and the back lip  of the bucket slides over
the lip of the wall mount) for my water buckets and
have mounted them so the bucket sits on the wheel
"well" or the fenders, what ever you want to call
them.
Well, now my current trailer is 8 ft. wide and doesn't
have much of a fender.
I still want to attach the bucket holders to the
trailer,  but I'm not sure where to put them.
Now, I've had this trailer, for several years and have
been hanging the buckets from the middle horse tie.. I
just can't decide where to put the bucket holder.
I have seen some folks put their  wall mounted bucket
holders down near the rear of the trailer, close to
the ground, but the bottom of the bucket is equal to
the bottom edge of he trailer: if you do so, do you
worry about a foot getting caught?
I can place it so the bucket just touches the fender
of the truck, but I worry the horse's rope might get
tangled under it, I never worried about that when the
fender was wide enough for the bucket to sit nicely
on.  Any suggestions?
I tie to my trailer, I have a Spring tie, or I just
tie to the standard horse tie rings on the trailer.

Please don't tell me to put the horse in a pen.. not
gonna get into that discussion!
