Who is K&D Equestrian?
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 legacy and runs the business today. Their products are developed and tested at the family’s F-Bar Ranch in Gainesville, Texas, and are designed by horsemen for horse men and women. As a horse owner himself, K.R. uses these products every day and describes them as "built Cowboy Tough."
Are K&D pitchforks and rakes really nearly indestructible?
K&D says yes — the bottom line is their pitchforks and rakes last. The 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 from cold frozen ground to blistering Texas heat. New users are often surprised at how extremely durable and well built they are.
What makes K&D buckets so durable?
The buckets are made from the same high-impact, aircraft-grade material as the forks and carry very high impact ratings. K&D puts them through a strength and durability test on video to demonstrate it. Anything can be broken with the right mindset, but under normal conditions and proper use these buckets last long periods of time without replacement.
What is the difference between the Silver Line and the Platinum Line?
The Platinum Line was designed by professional horsemen for professional horsemen, with a thick-walled, cold-weather-resistant design in high-impact plastic; many clients say these buckets have lasted 15 or more years. The Silver Line buckets are the toughest on the market, made with a durable high-impact material, and are the lighter, more user-friendly choice for transporting feed and water.
Does K&D Equestrian make grooming products too?
Yes. K&D offers a wide variety of grooming products, from brushes to totes, stools, and combs. The two-piece Palm Brush pairs a rigid handle with softer bristles that will not hurt the animal’s skin, the Grooming Stool doubles as a tote and a mounting block and fits a quart bottle of hoof liniment, and the Sweat Scraper sheds water or sweat and also removes loose hair without sharp blades that could damage the coat.
How long do orders take to ship?
K&D uses a standard 4 to 6 week lead time, but most orders actually ship within 10 days of receiving a purchase order. They do not typically do back orders, but they offer drop shipping for a small $5.00 fee. There is also a free shipping program for dealer customers on orders over $1,000, with no case quantities or order minimums.
