horse furniture

Sometimes in my day job as an equestrian (and sometimes business) journalist, companies send me "schwag"—freebies or samples of their products. Usually these items are quite small and don't cost much, which is fine. I get uncomfortable when the freebies are too expensive. Sometimes these items are awesome (like the recent Ultimate Hoofpick (shameless plug) by Thornhill, with a big handle and a place to thread through bailing twine to hang it up, and a nice, sturdy, but not too point pick end, or the Burr-out, which we are using to shed out the goat, but which is probably meant for burrs in horse tails. We have no burrs here in New Mexico, but the goat loves the thing).
