These handy gadgets could save your
horse’s life! Years ago I had an acquaintance whose
horse colicked and required emergency surgery. Luckily he
survived and even went on to compete again. His colic was
caused by an ingested horseshoe nail. Since that
experience, I’ve been an absolute fanatic about
horseshoe nails - driving my farrier nuts, I’m sure. But
no matter how careful he is about picking up dropped
nails, chances are he’s going to overlook one every once
in awhile and I don’t want my veterinarian to find it
inside my horse! We’ve already put our sample Stable
Sweep to good use when my husband dropped a nail (which
immediately disappeared into the bedding) in one of the
stalls. We used the Stable Sweep to easily locate the
missing nail and saved ourselves the trouble of stripping
out all the bedding. Each Magnetic Sweeper features a
powerful permanent ceramic magnet encased in a durable
aluminum housing. To use, simply roll or wave over the
area you wish to clear of metal hazards - they work even
in water!
Magnetic Stall Wand
This magnetic wand is perfect for
private stables and single horse owners. The compact and
lightweight magnet is strong enough to pick up horseshoe
nails - with the horseshoe attached! No stable should be
without one.
