Gate openers out hacking?!

[lynne_macleod]

Without sounding like the laziest rider ever! Has anyone ever seen advertised any kind of device that can be fitted to gates around the farm (not connected to the mains) so they open and close easier? Would be very interested if anyone has any ideas! solar powered or mechanical As the only think i can find from a long google search is from Auz. Possible a horse friendly version of this!?

not lazy - I feel the same! Especially as I'm the only one who can do them whilst out hacking on my 17hh some of the smaller ones are a pain!
