As above really, i have lots I'm always thinking of things that i dont think are actually possible to do, but my ultimate one at the moment would be something to feed your horse that would dye the poo a certain colour, it would cut out all the business of who should pick up what poo in the field and your horse does more/less than mine!
 
a machine that lets me talk to my horse so we can have chats and i can explain that things wont hurt and that its all for her own good. also she can tell me what hurts and when she wants stuff

:D:D oh i love that one :D

could you imagine hacking out and see all these different coloured poos, another thing for the horse to spook at lol :)

i would like an end to sweet itch and mud fever i could then breathe a big sign of relief and relax and enjoy my horse :cool:
 
I've just ordered mine a balemate turn table for large haylage bales so I can just unroll it without pulling a handfull at a time.

Yes!! I second this, I was gonna say something to keep grey horses grey!

Also something that could tack my horses up for me! :D

Isn't that what husbands are for? Just joking, in case mine sees this!!!

Love Madeleine's idea. My own invention would be an equine equivalent of the car wash. Horse goes in filthy, comes out gleaming and dry the other end.

I know this isn't what you were asking but talking of inventions in 1983 my Dad thought of the jump cups which are widely in use now (for which you only need one hand to higher/lower the poles). In about 1999 he also thought of the mirror hitching up a trailer idea, whereby he attached a mirror to the front of my old Richardson/Rice trailer by which if you looked through the rear view mirror of the towing vehicle you could position the tow ball under the towing hitch by use of this mirror. Both ideas were thought of by Dad years before they were marketed. Unfortunately he didn't patent either idea. Grrrr. We would probably be quite rich by now had he have done so.
 
i always wondered why a recoiling lunge line was never invented - would certainly minimise the risk of the person falling over it or the horse getting a leg caught should soemthing go wrong - not as exotic or exciting as other peoples ideas but just a thought!

What a bloody good idea! It could be like those rigid springy hosepipes!

My boyfriend said what about recoiling lunge lines he said what about like a dog lead but i dont think you could get the components strong enough, i have thought of an idea for the hay, i spoke to a designer ad everything but i just dont have the money spare atm, i hope no one thinks of my idea before i can save the money! That is so frustrating applecart! It is just so expensive to get things designed!

I seem to remember seeing one advertised in Horse & Pony decades ago...
 
I would love someone to invent a safe and effective way to sedate my horse for routine stuff like the dentist and vaccinations, he's a nightmare with vets and getting the needle in his vein is more traumatic for him than actually having his teeth rasped in the first place! Please note sedalin is not effective for my boy once he sees the vet approaching!!!
 
a helmet cam that also judges distances to fences and countrs the strides in and tells you to shorten or length your horses stride accordingly - cos i'm useles at seeing a stride :o
 
There was a hay manger exactly like that at Your Horse Live (before it was called that). They exhibited for a couple of years, it was a super idea, but it cost about £350 so I suppose they simply didn't sell enough. I think it had a drain hole so you could soak it and then wheel it into the stable, soaked or unsoaked. I considered buying one but didn't have a "spare" £350 at that time. I also tried to think how I could make one, but it was a bit too complicated.
 
I would like a gadget that could be fitted to all bridlepath gates, with a remote control that could be carried by the rider, so that you never had to spend ages fiddling with gates (or dismounting and mounting again) when out hacking.
 
A big electromagnet under the concrete next to the mounting block.Lead the horse up and at the flick of a switch he is held still by his shoes. Guaranteed no more side steping away just as you go to get on.

Yeah what a wicked idea! i went on a bridle rides holiday some years ago with a friend round Rutland, Leics. As it is huge farming country nearly every few hundred yards there was a gate. As my mate was on the rather large side and therefore couldn't mount/dismount unless she had a mounting block or similar I had to keep hopping on and off my 17hh gelding (some gates were impossible to open on horseback). What a nightmare!! I was well and truly knac*kered by the time we'd done half a mile!! HA HA.
 
I'd like horses to evolve to be able to shed their coats in one go. So they decide to do it on one day, and one day only, they shake from head to toe, and hey presto all the old coat has gone and new one ready! Then no more shedding hair getting EVERYWHERE! :)
