The KD-120 puts strength where the load travels and removes exposed handle-end corners where manes, tails, and curious muzzles meet the bucket. Fewer exposed snag points means a more horse-conscious design; no bucket can eliminate every risk, so inspect barn equipment regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe K\u0026amp;D Platinum Bucket Promise\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the KD-120 bucket body cracks or splits, or the reinforced handle ring pulls through during normal feed, water, stall, trailer, or wash-rack use, K\u0026amp;D will repair or replace it for the original purchaser.
