![]() Although, with metal stalls, you wouldn't be able to attach it to the wall, so perhaps something like a jolly ball or perhaps just an empty feed tub. Have you tried toys in his stall to occupy him so he might not dump his buckets? My APHA mare has a real oral fixation wiht stuff, when she was a foal we had a toy called a pacifer for her pen and it helped some, she still likes to play in the water tanks, but no longer dumps them. It doesn't have to be boredom-I've had outside horses that would walk up to their pail of grain & give it a flip to dump it all out-or they stick their nose in, root into the grain & then fire a whole bunch of it up over the side of the pail-or they deliberately flip a pan on the ground-I don't see their point in doing that. It does make it harder for the horse to spill the water-he may manage to slop some of it out but most will stay in the bucket-but it is a major pain to take the bucket down & rinse it when you want/need to. ![]() It's impossible to flip or dump though.Ī water pail is a little more difficult, though I have been able to tie one of those corner pails up in a similar fashion-3 ties, one in the corner and then one on each side of the corner, tied to the pail where the handle is fastened. ![]() Have you tried one of those corner feeders? One of those that has three loops on it so you fasten it to each side of the corner and in the corner itself? A horse cannot flip those up-though they can still root their nose into the grain and shoot it out over the rim if they are inclined to do that.
