| Did anyone pick up that new style of manure / stall fork at the Quarter Horse Congress? I want one but I cant find them online because I forgot the name. |

Mmm, since I break one every time I have to use it (luckily only when we go somewhere...) I will have to try one!
Hey rockinj, I can order one for you and ship it over if you would like me too?? |

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | The prongs are connected to each other which stabilizes them and helps keep them from breaking. I know cheap ones are too but these seem better done. I think the biggest thing is that you can replace just one prong if it breaks rather then replace the whole fork. |

| I do not know anyone who cleans stalls or her trailer more than my trainer. I got her one for Christmas. She loved it. It was kind of hard to put together as it does need assembly. The tines do seem a lot sturdier than the regular fork. I would have bought myself one but had just bought a fork and could not justify the cost. Horseloverz or one of the online places had it as the pick of the day. So from a professional poop scooper it is a good choice. |

Location: mi | I use a basket fork . Can not for the life of me use one of the standard flat ones anymore. Is it deep enough to mimic a basket one or would I be less then pleased with the amount of poo I shake back on the ground with each pick? |

I second this Murphy! My husband wanted one SOOOO bad at Congress...but for $60 bucks...I was like first off...none of our prongs have broken...and if they did we would just buy a new head for cheap and put it back on the handle...
I am a tight wad though....husband was so sad I shot him down.

We break ours about every 4 months it seems- usually when stripping the pee out or something. Anyhow- for not much more money they are a lifetime guarantee so we gave it a try. It has a different angle than I am used to but so far so good. |

It's taken me a while to get used to the different angle of it BUT I would pay for another one long before I bought any other one. |

| Good to know that everyone who has one likes it! Maybe we will get one next year....I just have a hard time forking over money on something that just shovels up poop. Especially since I have never broken a prong on my current pitch fork that is about three years old, and the replacement fork heads are only $7.99. I only clean three stalls....my poor husband....lol |

| I NEED to get one of these! This winter has killed 3 picks here. Great to hear people like them, I was hesitant because of the cost. |

Location: CTX | OK, so I received my fork yesterday , and decided to tackle our run-ins with it..... 
normally I manage to break half a fork there since they don't get cleaned every week.
And I am pleased to say, it is still alive!!! So this makes me hopeful for the future!!!  |

| THe way I understood it they have a lifetime warranty. If one breaks you pay $2-3 for shipping and they send you the replacement parts. |
