Portable mounting block?

[hairycob]

I'm getting on a bit & am too creaky to get on from the ground. I'm planning to take my youngster out & about a bit this year & it has occured to me that I need something I can take with me to get on from. I can't be the only old fogey with this problem so how do other people manage?

I bought a set of steps from B & Q, they do the job and are cheaper than buying something from the tack shop.
They also come in handy for hanging rugs on the rug racks and pulling manes etc .

I bought a tall plastic step (it's like a strong very tall bucket) from Ikea - very light and very cheap at under £5 to mount my 16.3hh.

B&Q & IKEA Are both handy for trhe office so I shall have to pop round & look.

Quirky - sounds like you ar short - another reason I need a mounting block!

Perfect, lightweight and folds up

I got this which works really well, folds up and travels in the front of the trailer (behind my wheelie bin)

U could of just asked me, I've got a set of steps from Argos, they are fab I may be younger but don't get on from the floor unless I have too!

Loys of good ideas.

LUI23456 - I pinched the crate yesterday morning. Was just hoping nobody needed it. I thought you were so young & agile you wouldn't need anything!

We use one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Step-Stool-FOLDING-STEP-STOOL/dp/B00118QQE4

It really is sturdy, and folds away to take up no room
