You can also put a double snap on the one handle and snap the bucket to your saddle.  Put a double snap on the end of the rope and shap that to your saddle.  I do that with my sponge so I #1 don't lose my sponge and #2 have a little extra weight on my sponge so it'll sink better.  The same would be true for a bucket.

 

Good idea, Betsy!  I've got the small bucket too and will use it this weekend at State Fair Express...along with my NEW TRAILER!!!  (yes...my new trailer is going with me down the trail...in my dreams anyway)

I got the bucket from Nancy Mitts, Stablegear Tack, 417-476-2505 or 1-866-535-6410.  She has 2 sizes 6 or 10 qt.  ($13 and $15)You want a bucket with 2 handles, so you can tie a long thin rope , like clothes line, which will reach to the ground.  One end has a snap to hook to the saddle and the other end is tied to ONE handle.  Then both handles go over my arm.  and when I want water I just throw the whole bucket down. You will lose some water as you pull the bucket up, but you still get lots of water .

Which folding portable water bucket?  Where did you get it?

I don't use the sponge any more.  I use the folding portable water bucket.  Costs about $12.  I snap the string to the front of my saddle and the string is attached to one handle. Both of the handles are over my wrist.  It brings up a TON of water, so I get a lot more water on my horse with that, than with a sponge.
