Is this made from rubber or plastic? Any known difficulty with horse kicking/breaking when cold outside?

It is plastic, the reason I bought this was because where I board my horse, he has a buddy out there, and they got really restless this past winter and destroyed one of the regular 5 gal heated buckets. Once we plugged this bad boy in and filled it up, they didn't try to kick it or anything. So far it has been the best heated bucket I've purchased!

The horse are made of a very sturdy plastic. The stable has two doors on the back with a gold metal hook-style latch. You can easily open the "stable doors" and let the horses out to play. We've had this toy since June 2013 and it has held up very well -- my daughter plays with it constantly and has even dropped it on several occasions.

It is entirely made out of plastic.. But it does NOT feel cheep or as if it is going to break if you press it a little harder. Rubber coating would not be optimal for the thera cane, due to increased friction.

it is rubber and it has a plastic cartilage like piece in to make it try to stay in a direction, I personally didn't really care for it much, It weighs to much and really does not do the trick for us.

plastic. A leg broke off but it was easily fixed with superglue and has been fine since. My 5 1/2-year-old grandson loves it.

I ordered two of these. They are both made from a sturdy plastic. I bought them for my cat who had arthritis in her legs. It's pretty strong even for a small dog. If you did not receive the plastic version, you should return it or ask for a replacement.

It is a very heavy plastic. I think it would take alot to break it. I have two of them and am very pleased with the product, and it has gotten as cold as 14 below zero here.

It's plastic but it's probably strong enough to beat a horse to death with.

Neither. It is a really sturdy heavy plastic. I know that sounds weird, but it has made it through two of the toughest midwest winters in recent memory without any damage and it can hold a LOT of heavy snow, ice, and slush.

Yes, it is made out of pretty tough plastic and it is water proof. This will be my second year using it for the winter in WY. We'll see how it holds up for it's second year of use!

It's plastic. Not recommended, in freezing or extreme heat conditions. But I just love mine ! It's indoors

I think it was hard plastic. I wouldn't buy it anymore because my dogs broke it I think within a week. This is probably more for small dogs.

It has a nylon bottom and won't slide very well on the snow. Icy hill, maybe but it won't be very stable. Also it doesn't have cold crack additive in the PVC and could bust if it gets too cold.

A plastic of some kind. Light enough to move but heavy enough not to blow around. It has been outdoors in very cold Colorado and is perfect. I love it and will buy 2 more this year.
