Barn color guide
Color-code your barn with K&D.
Use color to make daily barn work easier: separate gear by horse, feed type, stall row, trailer, tack room, wash rack, or chore zone.
Fast answer
Start color-coding with the products people touch every day: horse buckets, feed scoops, stall tools, grooming totes, and trailer gear. Assign one color by horse, job, location, or feed routine, then keep it consistent.
By horse
Assign each horse a color so buckets, scoops, grooming totes, and small tools are easy to spot.
By feed type
Separate grain, supplements, soaked feed, water, mineral, or special-care routines by color.
By location
Keep trailer, wash rack, tack room, feed room, and barn aisle gear visually separate.
