Answers:
Get some old pallets and use the boards to build a sturdy frame to hold one of the rubber feed tubs. It will stand up to the horses, and the rubber tub will not let any feed go to waste. I have seen them up to a 50 gallon, so you can find one to fit your needs.
Build a wooden feeder that resembles something like what was used in the old west. You can make it out of aged wood so you do not have to chemically alter the wood that might adversely affect the horses.
Not sure where you live, but here in Oklahoma a drive in the country will trun up lots of old farm equipment that the owner will give away to get off the property..maybe an old wheelbarrel that you could set the legs in concrete to keep it from moving,or an old plow that you could hide your bucket behind..
