Haybar; my horses just pull the contents out and drag it across their beds anyway. So what WAS the point?!

They're a tad better than just on the floor of the stable

Oh! Would, would, would so

Oooh! I want some prolite boots!

A mesh fly rug that the flies/ mozzys bite through.
Bandage pads that would fit an elephant... the list is endless

 

[jesterfaerie]

Aside from the horse

Hock and knee travel boots - never worn as they are too small.
Around 12 pads - work well as roller pads but not wide enough and too long and thick for under bandages - all in white

3 rugs from DH from the sale, wrong size, rubbed my horse horse so badly.

 

[jvoyce]

massage / strapping pad. never used

 

[Tinker_Belle]

Beautiful leather lunge cavesson. Padded, brass fittings & rings. Gorgeous.

Go it home after convincing myself it would fit to try on ponio & it was too small on the cheeks & noseband

But it did only cost £15.00 in a closing down sale & I can't bring myself to part with it!

 

[angiebaby]

Tail bag to keep my pony from having poo in his tail all the time; His tail is so thick it wouldn't fit in; and it was £20!!

My Wife.

 

[hussar]

A grooming machine. It was clearly designed for putting the final polish on show ponies, not for dealing with dried mud and hair ...

Every rug I've ever bought the cob (with the exception of his Exel) - nothing fits.

A nose net - made headshaking worse!

You know, he does have a point, I am totally useless and cost him a LOT of money constantly.....

You see, I am a crap housekeeper, Im pretty much buggered - if I was a horse you would have shot me long ago - and even those who wanted a rescue would think I was too far gone..... lol

I dont cook real well, and I have a habit of buying horses (lately its been stallions! lol)............

I can completely agree that his most useless purchase was his wife! lol Im not ashamed to admit it! lol

My most useless buy ever???? Um, well there have been lots, but probably the Cat of Nine Tails........... heheheh It was bought for 'shock' factor for the ultra straight people who visited me! lol........... (forgot it was there one time when my housemates parents rocked up though! DOH!)

OMG. There is absolutely no hope for me then

I am a rubbish cook, two microwaves have been killed because of my 'mishaps'. (Exploding custard, a pasty that shot into flames in the microwave)

I am rubbish at housekeeping (there's always something better to do. Like go outside!)

I have a soft heart where horses are concerned & more than once have I bought home a bedraggled Shetland having only gone to 'look'

Oh well, there's always horses

 

[Selkie]

Greenguard grazing muzzles little Shetland had it off before he was out of the stable door

A trailer only to find the horse wouldnt go in it so it spent the year being a garden shed

till I got another horse that walks in no bother

 

[silverbullet]

A humane twitch.

30 second after putting it on the pony had escaped his nose from it! Now gathering dust while broom handle & string twitch is back in use!

 

[MagicMelon]

It was probably a Boett blanket, not because there was anything wrong with it itself but because after using it all summer I found out my horse didnt have sweet itch at all and in fact had allergies to most grasses, hay moulds and dustmites which was causing his itching!! During the time he had it on though it seemed to get ULTRA static to the point that we'd both dread taking it off.... it would zap both of us like hell, it was really unpleasant. I tried washing it in so many things to stop the static to no avail. I ended up riding on top of it most of the time!! So it cost me a fortune, didnt work for the problem my horse had and its now gathered dust since...

Also hate Rhinegold turnout rugs. I bought a summer turnout which was meant to be 100% waterproof - it wasnt. The slightest drizzle drenched it. Utterly pointless!
