any body have a good suggestion on a water tank?  how do you get in there and 
clean them?  i heard there are ones that collapse as they empty then you can 
take them out and clean them.

any vendor info would really help too. thanks!


We use a 25 gallon triangular tank strapped into the corner of the
dressing room.  It's installed with straps so the whole tank can
be removed for cleaning, winter storage, etc.  Routine use involves 
a hose and valve near the base with filling through a larger opening 
at the top (covered with a screw cap when not filling).  IIRC, the 
tank is high density polyethylene.  We also got a small triangular 
base to elevate the tank a little which can serve as the home for a 
small hose.

On line vendors that seem to have the same tank include:

Sportack

 then select "Water Storage"

Even with this tank and another 20 gal. tank on the trailer, we 
occasionally long for greater capacity.  Many people opt for 
additional containers in the pickup bed.  Good ad hoc containers
can be made from plastic, food-grade 55 gal. drums, some plumbing
hardware, and some arrangement with straps and possibly wooden
frames for stability in the pickup.  Commercial containers in the
range of 20, 35, or 60 gallons intended for other applications can
occasionally be found at farm service or tractor supply outlets.

Best,

We are talking about all the tools we can use to keep our horses safe and
alive at the rides. Training/conditioning is one of the best tools
available. It makes us better horseman and women, it benefits our horses
and could quite possibly be the key to preventing most crashes.
