So this thread is a bit tongue in cheek, but basically the horse things you would like to invent that don't exist.

I would like to be able to hog all my horses and then buy a roll of ready made plaits on a roll of tape that you velcro to the top of the neck :-)
 
Clippers with some sort of vacuum attached which clean up every single hair. I quite like clipping & after years of working with horses am pretty quick. But I loathe cleaning up all the hair from literally everywhere on myself & the ground after.
Yard grids/ drains that never have to have the covers removed & all the nasty sludge removed. No matter how tiny the grid holes its always unavoidable.
 
A leg-holding device, so you don't need to find an unwilling assistant to hold up a leg while you put stuff on sore bits.

Tack cleaning machine would be good too.
 
Non-slip grass in paddocks - saving the wheelspin lines & gouges when they play silly-burgers :D

Also liking the catch-tank for all clippings :)

Magic muck heap product to break it down to next to nothing over a very short space of time (instead of waiting for farmer to collect about a fortnight after asking)

A muzzle that still allows them to have a proper scratch with their teeth if they want to, but still effective in doing its job.

A jump putter-upper to automatically put all poles back in cups & can raise & lower and move out/in fences at a push of a button :D
 
I'd like a gizmo to hang on the inside of water buckets which sets off a buzzer when full. I'm always forgetting I've the tap running...... only to hear the ominous trickling noise as the box next door begins to flood!
 
Some sort of air conditioned bubble/tent to protect me and the horse from flies, pollen and less than optimum temperatures whether too cold or too warm!
 
Something that I think would actually be possible - a TOG rating for rugs like for duvets so that you could see at a glance whether it was l-mw/mw/mw-hw/hw: and flipping freezing w etc
 
Liking the idea of TOG rating for rugs. Now that is possible.

How about self cleaning rugs and tack.
And now for total fantasy:
A transporter (as in Star Trek type) to beam horse from A to B. :D
No more sitting in traffic jams or loading/unloading problems.
 
A saddle that self adjusts to the horse for a perfect fit, a pill for topline and a no cereal, low starch, low sugar feed that gives oomph & mine will actually eat.

Other than that I'd invent a horse that talks so I wouldn't spend half my life worrying about what just might be wrong even when things are clearly fine :D
 
A cure for sweet-itch!

I also like the idea of a talking horse - on the other hand, not so sure I want to hear what he/she thinks about my horsemanship :D

I've seen rolls of ready made plaits and mane and tail attachments.

I think you can already get a gizmo like that, It is for blind people for running a bath etc but sure you could use one for buckets.
