What is a Horse Food Container Called?

Ever found yourself searching online for a "horse food container" and feeling unsure if you’re using the right term? You’re not alone! Horse owners and stable managers often use different names for feeding equipment.

Let’s clarify the terminology so you can shop confidently for your equine partner.

Understanding Horse Feed Containers

Feed Bucket: The most common term for a portable container horses eat directly from. Typically made of rubber, plastic, or metal, these attach to stall walls or fences.

Feed Tub: Similar to a bucket but often slightly wider and shallower. Great for ground feeding or slow feeders.

Grain Pan: A low-profile, open container often used for ground feeding or supplements.

Storage Bin/Container: Refers to larger, sealed units for storing bulk feed (grain, pellets) to keep it fresh and pest-free. Think "trash can" style with tight lids.

Hay Net/Hay Bag: For holding hay – not technically a "container," but essential for feeding forage!

When shopping, focus on function:

For serving meals: Look for feed buckets, tubs, or pans.

For storing feed: Search for feed storage bins or containers.
