It's a bit of blue pipe

used like a stick, but makes a loud noise...wouldn't say it hurts them any more then a stick but it's often used on breakers as the noise helps send them forward.

If you dont know what it is etc. Then why would you say you wouldnt use it. I am neither condemning or condoning, just wonder how someone makes a decision without even setting eyes on the subject.

PS I believe you mean alkathene pipe which is a thick plastic 'water' pipe. Hope that helps

It never leaves a mark on the nubile young men I keep chained in my bedroom either.

more than one? you greedy thing! If you are worried about their sensitive skin try white spirit - we used to put it on the ponies to prevent girth galls.

We use it on stubborn cows to make them go in the cattle crush. Makes a huge racket but doesn't really hurt them. Also use it to keep control of the bulls when they are servicing a cow.

Have never used it on a horse though.

My god Patches! You use Ben & Jerry's ice cream to control bulls serving cows? Now that's what I call commitment to the new Animal Welfare legislation!!!!!

LOL!! Polypipe doesn't hurt - I know I've whacked myself with it loads of times when I've been laying water pipes.

"Mr Blue-Pipe" is a good friend of mine...is VERY useful in some situations....

only used with bolshy cobs/horses above their station..and only once or twice on the chest....they soon get the messge
