Lets start with the eating....out in the wild do horses have feeders? No they eat of the ground, the humans have to always put there two cents in. Yes feeders help food wast and keep it from getting dug into the ground by the horses walking on it but... they do not need feeders. horses by nature are grazers, that means that they eat with their head down, The water issue, Horses need clean water, out in nature the would be drinking from rivers and areas where water is flowing or not stagnant. If you want to clean out water buckets just use dish soap and a good brush. just make sure to get all the soap out, if you have any more Q you can contact me at
