Yard and Field

We say…

The recommended six bags was sufficient to make a full bed. Really easy to lay in the stable. It’s greatly reduced the mucking out time and effort, and the stable only needs to be topped up with one bag per week, making it really cost-effective. It’s super absorbent and the wet patches rise to the top, making them easy to remove. Love the fact they’re not dusty, and it’s helped make the muck heap more manageable, too. It provides a deep, comfortable bed and have found it doesn’t carry the odour that straw sometimes can.

Lightweight, soft, flexible and easy to fill. The tough tie string is threaded through metal hoops, which prevented it from getting tangled and made it easier to tie up and fasten. We noticed less waste than before, and it holds a good amount of forage. It stood up well to regular use and hasn’t stretched or lost its colour. Good quality and size for the price.

The holes aren’t as small as some others, but it did increase the time taken to eat the forage. A smaller net, making it perfect for use at shows, on the yard or for horses needing a smaller ration. The material is strong and durable, and showing no real signs of wear. Found the thin string a bit fiddly, but it doesn’t have a knot, so shouldn’t – and didn’t – come apart easily. The metal rings made it easy to fill. 

We say…

The material was soft and seemed gentle on the horse’s nose. Small holes definitely extended eating time. It held a good amount of hay, which meant it was ideal for a large ration. The shape and size of the holes meant we found it tricky to tie up when completely full, but it stayed put. The net has held its shape and proved easier to fill than others thanks to the heavier material. Showing no real signs of wear, even with regular use.

I used this for a greedy pony who normally inhales his hay. It’s been great and really slowed his eating while increasing movement due to him pushing it around. I loved that it encouraged a natural eating position, and it was just as effective in the stable as in the field. The colour has stayed bright, and it’s showing very few signs of wear and tear for an item used – and kicked – regularly. It was easy to unscrew and fill with forage. Overall, it’s really helped reduce boredom in the stable.

“I really liked how simple this system was to install. The instructions were easy to follow, and the torch even came ready charged! I used the bulkheads to provide some extra light for my field shelter and feed room, which is in a field with no access to mains electrics. Once I had the bulkhead lights attached to the wall, it meant I could use the torch to get to the shelter then plug it in to the bulkhead system, which lit up the whole shelter and feed room. I was pleasantly surprised by how much light the system gives off – especially on the highest setting. The screws weren’t included to fix the lights to the wall, but it was simple to put up.”

“The shape of this fork made poo-picking really easy and prevented the prongs snagging on the grass. The curved shape made it harder to create level banks, but the benefits of the unusual shape far outweighed this.”

“The colour was really lovely and it felt really solid. The tines were a bit short, which made the work a bit harder.”

“Genuinely better on rubber matting than other forks and also surprisingly good for poo-picking as you don’t end up with lots of grass on the fork. The handle was comfortable and it’s good quality. It can be harder to pick up smaller pieces of poo.”

“It’s very light and an excellent price. It felt a little bit flimsy, but it survived the three-month trial with no problems.”

“Really light and attractive. I liked the easy-grip handle and the fact you can personalise the colours is fun. The tines flexed when I used the fork, but none broke and it was robust.”

“The basket design meant that poo was easily collected and none of the bedding was wasted. If you’re not careful, the basket can become heavy and tipping the waste into the wheelbarrow took a little bit of getting used to.”

“Excellent craftsmanship and the tines were angled to help you not to hit the bottom of the muck trailer when forking up the heap. This is a tool for straw beds or muck heaps only, but it was really good at those jobs.”

“It was heavy to use and the poo sometimes rolled off the tines.It’s sturdy, really well-made and the design worked once I got used to it. It was heavy to use and the poo sometimes rolled off the tines.”

“Soft bristles sweep well and the width made it excellent for tackling the whole yard. The long handle was comfortable on my back and it was efficient to use.”

“Excellent for quick sweeping and gathering piles of swept material into scoops. Not wide enough for full yard sweeping and a few of the tufts fell out after lots of use.”

“The two fibre strengths really worked to prevent the broom becoming clogged with hair. I needed to adjust my sweeping action to use this broom.”
