Share your little gems! For me:
Lightweight rubber mats- they're not the conventional black things, they were from ebay and are grey and were sold as equi mats. They make a super bed with a dusting of straw on top and I just lift them up each day to let the floor dry then put them back down. They can move a little but not much and my horse is happy with them.
Harbridge- what a revelation. My horse's reaction to spooky stuff is to chuck her head in the air and keep it there getting more and more uptight and disrupting schooling or lessons, but under too much pressure she just dips behind the the bit. On her spooky days the harbridge is the best training aid I could use, don't even need to have it tight, but with regular use that muscle that was developing on the underside of her neck is easing and we're getting much more stretching down. Hurray! Still many people have no idea what it is!
