Has anyone tried the automatic battery operated sifting manure fork?

Candycar Would you be willing to loan a grazing muzzle for my mini? I haven't purchased one yet.

Candycar, I,too, am considering a grazing muzzle for my 8 year old mini gelding. He has gained so much weight since we got him 5 months ago. I don't have a dry lot. He grazes about 10 hours a day on a very short mixed Bermuda grass area. He gets 8 oz of Purina Miniature Horse and Pony Feed AM...
