    Grooming Box/Tote

    What kind of grooming box or tote do you all use? I'm looking for one because my current one is a bit old and not too sturdy.
    So what kind do you have?

    I have one of these, but instead of bridle hooks, it has pouches to put brushes, clippers, sprays, hoof pics, etc. in it. Oh, and it's lime green I like it because it's handy to move around, all-enclosed so stuff never falls out, easy to organize, and easy to hook on the stall front at shows.

    I've got 2 ascot boxes and then a big tack trunk that will hold a tote box (the normal 'equine' tote boxes) and a big bucket to hang for water, or the ascot boxes.

    I just use a tool box , but I really like it. It is similar to a regular grooming box but sturdier and MUCH cheaper. It keeps everything clean, organized, and dust free. I can (and do) use it as a step stool.

    This is alot like mine except mine is all black.

    We've got the plastic tote but we also sometimes use 8 qt buckets. Really though, we only use 4 items for grooming on a daily basis (brush, mane brush, vetrolin and hoof pick) so we usually just carry them out one by one and use the grooming box at shows and camping.

    I have a plastic box that I got from k-mart, it's just a small toy box and it does the job fine.

    I have a large red tote i use at shows for ring side (really want a wooden one) and a small yellow tote that i use everyday.I also have my tack trunk that has a small box you can sit on that i use at shows for necessities.
    my most valuable possessions are my horses, my most treasured expense is my education,and my happiness lays with my independence.

    I have an organizer that I hang on the wall. It has tons of room for everything plus at the bottom it has a removable bag and i put my cooler and quarter sheet in there.
    I also have this one : http://www.smartpakequine.com/Produc...eCategory=true
    its good for taking around and such.
    I figure that the totes they sell at grocery stores now work really well too. I have a couple of those in the barn for stuff and i like them. cheap but fit a ton.

    Also, for our tack room we use a cloth shoe organizer on the back of the tack room door which holds everything from brushes, to spray bottles to shampoo. It's great. It looks like this one:
