Most Useful Piece of Horsey Equipment?

OMG my Musto Snug jods. Never had any so comfy. They are for cold weather and I am still wearing them.... I have converted about half a dozen other people on our yard to them as well and we are all looking out for the hot weather equivalent!
 
The hoof pick my OH made for me :D
It fits perfectly in my hand so now any other hoof pick just feels weird :)
 
my old faithful leather backed pure bristle body brush - been going for years, feels lovely in the hand and will deeply mourn it's death when its time comes, best £10 or so I ever spent!
 
A fabulous bit I bought for 10€ years ago!

Actually pretty funny, when I showed it to my current trainer to see what he though about trying it on my horse, he said "oh thats just a normal bit, why do you think it would do anything special for her issues?". Well, we tried and it was fab, as always. A few months later I suggested he tried it on his GP horse - who puts his tongue over the bit pretty much every other day, has a very tricky to work with back and loves to pull the unsuspected rider around the arena. He came to me a few days later saying it was a miracle bit and where could he buy one! :)
 
Shedding blade, had it years and still going strong and proving a lot less work than a curry comb. Oh and my magic brush! Only had it a few months and I'm converted. It's still the only brush my horse is 100% happy about having his legs, mane and belly brushed with when they're muddy and just find it great that I can get the muck off everywhere with just one brush (granted I have to then go over with dandy brush to get rid of dust left behind but still makes my life a lot easier). And finally my 9 year old schooling whip that is still in one piece AND still has an end on (you watch it'll fall off tomorrow now I've said that!). Thought it was dead posh when I bought it cos it had a rubber handle and so was prob a bit more money than the previous 2 that had lasted a couple of weeks each,]
