What does K&D Equestrian make?
K&D Equestrian manufactures durable barn and stable products built to last rather than be replaced again in six months to a year. Their lineup includes buckets, feed tubs, pitchforks and rakes, grooming brushes, totes, combs, and mounting stools. They describe themselves as more than just another bucket, fork, brush, or feed tub maker, and their products are designed by horsemen for horse men and women.
Are K&D's pitchforks and rakes really nearly indestructible?
K&D says yes. Their rakes and forks are made from a more rigid, high-impact material that gives them strength and durability, and they have been tested in harsh conditions and all performed well. Cold frozen ground does not bother them, nor does the blistering Texas heat, and the company says they are so durable and well built that first-time users find them a welcome surprise.
What is the difference between the Silver Line and Platinum Line buckets?
The Platinum Line was designed by professional horsemen for professional horsemen, with a thick-walled, cold-weather-resistant design made of high-impact plastic for pros who cannot afford to replace buckets and feeders every month; many clients say these buckets have lasted 15+ years. The Silver Line is the lighter, more user-friendly bucket made with a durable high-impact material for transporting feed and water. Both lines carry very high impact ratings.
How long do K&D buckets last, and can they break?
K&D buckets are made from the same aircraft-grade, high-impact material as their forks and carry very high impact ratings, and many Platinum Line customers report 15+ years of use. The company is candid that anything can be broken with the right mindset, but under normal conditions and used properly these buckets last long periods of time without replacement. They put the buckets to the test in a strength and durability video to demonstrate these qualities.
What grooming products does K&D Equestrian offer?
K&D offers a wide variety of grooming products including brushes, totes, stools, and combs. The two-piece Palm Brush molds a tough, rigid handle with a softer, gentler bristle so it won't hurt the skin of the animal or person. The Grooming Stool doubles as a tote and a mounting block and fits a quart-size bottle of hoof liniment, and the Sweat Scraper sheds water or sweat and also removes loose hair without sharp blades that could damage a horse's coat or skin.
How quickly does K&D Equestrian ship orders?
K&D uses a standard 4-6 week lead time, but most orders ship within 10 days of receiving a purchase order. They do not typically do back orders, and they are flexible because there are no case-quantity orders or minimums. Drop shipping is available for a small $5.00 fee, and dealer customers can take advantage of a free shipping program on orders over $1,000.
Where are K&D Equestrian products made and tested?
K&D Equestrian was founded in 1983 by K.A. Fomby, and since his passing in 2011 his son K.R. Fomby has continued the family business. Products are developed and tested at the family's F-Bar Ranch in Gainesville, Texas, where K.R., a horse owner himself, uses them every day. Every product that ships goes through extreme testing in the facilities and in the field, and the company sums up its standard with the line that they are built Cowboy Tough.
