Does anyone have any good idea of how to bring hot water from home, enough for bathing and keeping it hot
I live about 20mins from the yard and while I use a couple of flasks for hot water for feed or when hot clothing, I'll obviously need more than a couple of flasks worth for bathing. I can't have a hot water shower/gas shower as I'm not allowed one on the yard and not allowed to ues the plugs on the yard

I fill up at home (I have an outside hot tap) into big water containers that I use to carry water in summer. One container will wash an 11.2 no problem! I also have a submersible shower which is usb and fab as we have no electric or water at the yard

I've just bought one of the usb rechargeable portable shower things that are all over tiktok!
 
Before I moved to a yard with hot water - absolute luxury, I have a grey - I used large water carriers and stood them in the bath to fill them up. The water was still plenty hot enough 45 mins later, so I could bulk it out with cold water.
 
I have never had access to hot water on a yard. Do you have to wash or can you get away with a decent groom and cold tail wash?
 
I also bring 2 big containers from home, wrapped in thermatex rugs. One for the morning to wash them (it stays hot enough to need diluting with cold) and the other, wrapped in 2 thermatexes, stays warm in the lorry to wash down after hunting or a show. And the rugs go on warm. A livery has one of those little rechargeable showers, it doesn’t give amazing pressure but enough to rinse off with.
 
I bring my mud daddy filled up with hot water from home. I'll probably bring a couple thermos flasks with boiling water to top up if I need to make more warm water.
I use very little water when washing with the mud daddy, but they clipped which obviously helps. Tails get done in a cold bucket (if lucky, cold with the dregs of the hot/warm chucked in)!
 
I'm not that strong so I use 10l water bags, fill from the shower hose.

I have a big plastic box in the car boot, I've lined it with that silver bubble wrap that's for insulating the loft. It still needs diluting with cold hours later.
 
If you have a very quiet horse I highly recommend the ryobi one portable pressure washer, on the non-pressure setting! Hose in the bucket and off you go, it is loud though.
 
You can buy USB kettles but l would have thought a water container or even a couple filled with hot water would stay warm enough to wash with. You could wrap them in insulating material to travel.
