As a horseperson, you've likely come to depend on certain items of tack or barn equipment. If you've ever mucked a stall with a heavy, metal shovel, you understand the beauty of lightweight manure forks. Battling moldy leather in a humid climate might lead you to celebrate synthetic tack. For those in the northern climates, what could be better than heated buckets to keep your horse's water in a liquid state through the coldest nights?
Riding and horsekeeping have come a long way since the dawn of equine domestication, but there are still headaches that all riders and horse owners deal with every day. If you could invent one item to make your life as a rider or horse caretaker better, what would it be? It doesn't even have to be completely realistic. Use your imagination, and come up with the horse world's next must-have product.
