We carry the La Gee cleaning tool range (the dominant brand here) covering rice-straw brooms, standard brooms, shavings forks (in standard and reinforced patterns), four-pronged forks, triangular rakes, manure scoops with rakes, and shovels. We also stock the Pack Horse Sweeping Broom as an Irish-supplied alternative.
Which brushes, forks and shovels suit daily yard work?
For daily mucking out: a shavings fork (the reinforced La Gee pattern holds up better in heavy use), a manure scoop with rake, and a sweeping broom for the yard. For deeper cleaning: a triangular rake for moving bedding, a four-pronged fork for hay handling, and a shovel for general clean-up. Most yards run a fork-and-scoop combination as the daily tool, with the rake and shovel as occasional additions.
Are these tools hard-wearing for heavy use?
Yes - La Gee specifically designs for daily yard wear, with reinforced moulded plastic baskets on the forks and rakes, and durable wooden or fibreglass handles. The reinforced shavings fork in particular is built for heavier use than the standard pattern.
Which stable cleaning brands do you carry?
La Gee anchors the range; Pack Horse adds an Irish-sourced sweeping broom. For specific patterns or brands not in our standard range, contact us and we can usually source on request.
Can I order in bulk for a livery yard?
Yes - tell us what you need. La Gee is well suited to fitting out a yard from scratch, and bulk orders on shavings forks, rakes and brooms are common.
How should I store stable cleaning tools?
Hang or stand tools off the ground when not in use - this protects the handle from rotting and the basket from misshaping. Wooden-handled tools last longer if stored under cover and out of the weather. Wash off heavy mud and bedding before storage to extend the life of the working end.
