Horses on the line and notice our Ranch Handler Cart that we use and use and use. Makes life easier for whomever is in charge of the line! You can see that there are two buckets. One is for the poopies and the other is the watering bucket.

Here is another photo of how we use an extra bucket for watering the horses. This is great. The horses are free to move their heads and drink and drink, rinsing their mouths and even playing. Remember: A horse will drink 10 gallons of water a day and even more on hot days. Heat stress and dehydration is one of the leading causes of colic when on the trail, so having plenty of water is essential. We have found that this is the only way to adequately water our horses when on a picket line.
When putting the wheels on make sure the grease zirk is to the outside of the cart, and the air stem is to the inside of the cart as shown in photo.
To lock cart in position, pull up so the
hinge is straight. You can also tighten or loosen this hinge as
you desire, using a wrench and pliers.
Take the wire support legs and thread through the nylon loops on the water bag. Then put the legs into the frame as shown in photo.
With an easy pull of the strap the muck cart empties completely!
