I have a 14.1 cob and the plastic block i have which is pretty much a standard short height was only just high enough! So I dont think I ever saw a bigger one, so I think its a case of making a lovely one that has been posted in the previous postThe shop bought ones are not big enough for horses, can imagine the problem you have.

I love that mounting block!! I too am after a good high one as I'm 5'6 and my girly is 17.3! Just can't find one tall enough anywhere

Tiger tail that is what I'm looking for! I've found a couple on-line, around £160/200 mark. I'm just being tight

That looks really good... I'm in need of a decent sized one for our yard - that doesn't break the bank...

Thats modelled next to a 17.1 so should be ample for a 17.3!

We are talking about flat packing the pieces and selling it as an assemble yourself job - will have to find out if he still wants to do that!

OH MY DAYS have been searching for something just like this I’m 5’5 with a 17h ID and he is a pain to mount, I need a larger and high up surface to get on - did your dad ever decide to make these. I know it’s a old post ?

I bought one like this when I hurt my hip/back. No need for stirrups, but also good for a baby horse as they can scrape and knock it and there are no places for hooves to get stuck!

Haha what a blast from the past! Whereabouts are you? He could probably be persuaded to do another one!

Google rda mounting blocks and there is a huge selection

For example - we have a fibre glass one which is very high that we bought from a ship builders - it’s 11 years old and looks like new - I’ll see if I can fish out the details it wasn’t cheap but it has been an amazing investment

Here they are they do 4 step as well but I’m 5 ft 4, old and can easily get on my 17.2 chap

If it doesn't need to be wood, we bought a 4 step plastic block from Robinsons. It lives outside and doesn't seem to have aged at all.
