[SIZE=12pt] Does anyone have photos of their gooming stanchions? You know, the raised table thingys that you can groom your horse or clip them on so you don't have to bend over

I hate to admit it but my poor back ain't what it used to be :lol: My sweetie Bill said he'd make me one :aktion033: so I'm looking for ideas. I'd love one that could be taken apart for transport

Does anyone make a prefab one?

Thanks for any and all ideas :bgrin

Here is what my hubby made.

With just 3 or 4 wood pellets.

Great topic!

I just drew my husband a picture of what I wanted and it looks just like Reble's. Reble, are you ever concerned that the minis will jump or slip off the side?

Our Farrier loves the stand....

They are first groomed or trimmed on the ground.

Believe me, minis can turn around very easily, in small areas.

Trained to go up the ramp, and stand quietly.

Repeat, Repeat, Repeat. Few minutes at a time.

Treats and food are used to train.

Patients and trust is the Key.

i have one that I love but haven't gotten it patented yet. When I do we will make and sell them. I absolutely couldn't do a full body clip if I had to be down on their lever. I have done 3 mature stallions in a row on more than one occasion, did have a sore back but nothing like when I did them on the ground.

How many people would be interested in a grooming stand that doesnt' take up much space, and has removable sides?

Hi Joy,

My hubby designed and had this one made for me and I have used it some for trimming feet, but I don't really have room for it in my tiny barn so the real test will come when my bigger barn is finished in a few months. Some of my minis do not mind it at all and others get scared about going up. But if it even makes some of them higher up to trim that is a help. :)

It is raised up by a pallet jack and it has feet that drop down and also has wheels that can be put on it for moving. Also the side bars are removable. And it has a door or gate on each end both of which are also removable.

I have used it for giving shots also and it has been GREAt for that!

For some reason this won't let me post pics on here anymore so here are links to the pics.

[SIZE=12pt]Susan, that is an awsome stand! It really looks well made and sturdy. I got my sweetie a welder for xmas in 05 maybe if I ask really nice he'll build me one! What are the dementions? How is the pallet jack attached?[/SIZE]


Pretty cool

Don't know why not, but I bet shipping would be expensive.

Joy,

The pallet jack is not attached. You just keep it closeby for when you want to raise the stand up :)

I'll have to measure it for you for the dementions.

: My sweetie Bill was also impressed with yours. And secretly,

I think he'd like to try his welder out :bgrin How high is your stand when it's at it's highest? We were thinking raising it up about two foot?[SIZE=12pt] With a ramp.[/SIZE]

Thanks,

Joy
