What horsey item/product do you wish existed?

Bute in tasty, feed from the hand tablets.

A machine that you keep in the feedroom; put in grass, hay, whatever, and it displays the sugar content

I would love if there was some sort of virtual reality riding simulator where you could go round Badminton etc on a mechanical horse - you know like those Turbo Tours rollercoaster simulator things? Except with a mechanical horse and video screens/goggles with video of the course. Maybe such a thing does exist and I've never heard of it! In my mind, it wouldn't be for training as much as simply an experience for those of us unlikely to ever jump more than 3' (there would be a big padded area around it, in case of being jumped off ,of course!!
 
Thanks Auslander, yes I've done that in the past, but it's not terribly safe on a long term basis as the stirrups won't pull off the bar in the event of a fall. It did work brilliantly though!

Enlightened Equitation Flexee dressage saddle... My poor little legs had never spent an entire lesson in the correct position before!

I'd like something that magically zaps burrs out of manes. And hover wellies so I can float over mud :D

I was once at a Heavy Horse fair in France and they were shoeing Breton horses in a sort of giant metal cage. The horse went in and was held up in a sling then the leg to be shod was tied up to the corner post to shoe. Sounds brutal but much easier on the back and most of the horses were asleep with all their legs off the floor while this was going on
 
Not exactly horsey, but I need the Wallace and Gromit machine that tips you out of bed, dresses you and tips you into the van ready to go in the morning!

Oh, and fleece lined poo picking gloves for the winter!

Oooo, that would be fantastic - when you invent one let me know :) :) :) They have simulators for F1 drivers so why not one for horse riders.

That would be amazing!!

A wash machine / clipping machine you could just put your horse in and he'd come out clean or clipped would be great.
