Horse wash down for trailer...... any ideas?

[hollyzippo]

Has anybody seen these? I have an ifor and have seen a couple of trailers with the water drum attached behind the mud guard and a hose thingy so you can wash down.

Have found a web site selling them..... for £85 quid!! Now I have a water container so was wondering if somebody inventive out there had already worked out how to attached a pressurised hose to it?? Sure it can be done! (and for about 10 quid!! ). Then planning on getting OH to weld on a bracket.

A solar shower that you can get for camping is a cheaper alternative.

If you go to your local camping supplies shop they will be able to sell you a submerible pump for about £15....just drops into the water container and runs off a battery

Thank you both! Will look into those and hopefully have a nice wash down for the eventing season instead of sponging and getting a wet armpit!!

There's a hose type device on the market which has a one way valve in the end. It's sold as a car assessory to use to clean your car without bothering with a hose. You put the one end in the container of water & then shake the hose & after a few seconds the one way valve starts syphoning water out the end. I expect it will be something similar to this.

Just found it on Ebay:-
