Built to Work as Hard as You Do

If you’ve ever dealt with a cracked bucket mid-winter or watched your feed tub fold like a cheap lawn chair, we’ve got some good news for you. At K&D Equestrian, we don’t just make buckets—we make the best buckets made in the USA. Designed by horsemen, for horsemen, our buckets are tough enough for Texas heat, resilient against freezing temps, and strong enough to survive even the rowdiest stock.

Why settle for imports made from brittle plastic and bottom-shelf materials? When it comes to equine care, the gear you trust shouldn't be the weakest link in your operation.

What Makes a Bucket “The Best”?

Glad you asked. To earn the title of the best bucket made in the USA, it has to check a few non-negotiable boxes:

• Impact-Resistant Material – Ours are made from 100% chemical-free, high-impact plastic. No petroleum. No gimmicks. Just pure grit.
• Weatherproof Durability – Texas winters, blazing summers, or surprise hailstorms? These buckets laugh in the face of climate change.
• Thoughtful Design – Flat backs for stall walls, no-tip bases for pasture use, and molded handles for grip that doesn’t quit.
• Ranch-Tested Reliability – We use our own gear daily at the F-Bar Ranch. If it can survive our herd, it'll thrive in your barn.

Meet the Bucket Lineup from K&D Equestrian

Here’s a peek at a few MVPs from our roster of indestructible champions:

KD120E Large Economy Bucket – 20 Quart Capacity

Flat back design? Check. Rugged enough to survive being kicked, tossed, and frozen solid? You bet. This is your go-to bucket for everyday watering or feeding. Plus, it comes in a rainbow of bold, beautiful colors so your tack room can finally look as sharp as your show rig.

KD154 Small Economy Bucket – 8 Quart Capacity

Perfect for smaller animals or precise feeding. Don’t let the word “economy” fool you—this little workhorse is built like a tank. Strong, chemical-free plastic ensures safe feed and water, every single time.

KD159 Round Utility Bucket – 8 Quart Capacity

Need a round pail that doesn’t melt in the sun or crack in the cold? This is it. A great multi-use option for barns, kennels, or even around the house. Versatile, dependable, and 100% American-made.

KD120 Deluxe Water Bucket – 22 Quart Capacity

This one’s for the pros. Our Deluxe Water Bucket features a metal ring reinforcement that keeps it solid under pressure. You’ll never see it pull apart or split at the seams. Ranch-tested, show-approved, and built to last longer than your last pair of boots.

Why American-Made Matters

Let’s not sugarcoat it. A lot of so-called “premium” buckets are made overseas with materials you wouldn’t want anywhere near your horse. At K&D, we believe you deserve better. All of our buckets—and everything else we make—are 100% made in the USA, right here in Gainesville, Texas.

That means:

• Local jobs
• Better quality control
• Materials you can trust
• A smaller carbon hoofprint (you’re welcome, Earth)

Supporting local manufacturing means you're not just buying a bucket—you're backing a business that stands behind every product with pride and integrity.

The Real Test? The Ranch Test.

Before any product hits our shelves, it gets thrown into the trenches at the F-Bar Ranch. We're talking real horses, real messes, real pressure. Our buckets have withstood it all—from icy mornings to hot, humid afternoons—and they’ve done it without cracking, snapping, or giving in. That's what we mean by “ranch-tested.”

Whether you’re managing a competitive barn or just need reliable tools for everyday chores, professional horsemen and women choose K&D because they know we don’t cut corners. We build gear that holds up when it counts—so you can focus on what really matters: caring for your animals.
