I would invent an adjustable mounting ramp, so special needs riders will be able mount their horses by themselves or with a little help. I would also invent an anti-stupidity spray for horses, dogs, cats, and humans; it will replace the stupidity with common sense.

I would invent a lightweight dressage saddle with a hand-hold built in for therapeutic riding with alpaca wool as the flocking. Dressage saddles are too heavy for disabled riders to carry themselves.

I would invent a rolling saddle bag to cary saddles. My dressage saddle is too heavy to cary everywhere. A rolling saddle bag would help a lot of people.

I would invent a solar powered heating/cooling horse blanket. It would have a nylon outside, gel middle and soft material on the inside. I would have it be lightweight and waterproof and be very comfortable. There would be invisible solar and control panels. You could regulate the temperature and it would be easy to take on and off.

i love brushing my horse, but no matter how long i brush i cant seem to get All the dirt out. so i would invent a brush that completely cleans the horse in a smaller amount of time. so u will still have the pleaser of brushing and bonding with your horse without the trouble of spending 3 hours for nothing!

I have four horses and the only one who doesn’t mind getting fly sprayed is my 34 year-old Quarter Horse. The others just don’t seem to understand that after I spray them, the flies somewhat stay away from them. Apparently they can’t connect the two things together. haha. Because of this I would invent a type of fly spray that actually keeps ALL the flies away. Plus, since my horses always seem to freak out when I try to spray them, I would invent a fly spray dispenser/sprayer that wouldn’t spook them so that I wouldn’t have to take a washcloth and wipe them down for an hour everyday.

I would make a machine that would dry up all the pasture mud and make it solid dirt again. No more uber muddy horses, and no more boots stuck in the ground!

If I could make something to improve the horse world and make my life better it would be an automatic shower for your horse. You would lead your horse into the stall and then use crossties to hook him to the wall and then you would shut a door and hit the START button on the shower key pad and it would calculate where everything is on your horse so it could get every area and know where everything is. Then it would wash, scrub, shampoo, condition,do the legs, and then dry without missing a spot and it would all be done in about 20 minutes. Plus you could use it in the winter too. I call this the next best thing in washing your horse.

I would invent some kind of laser light with a rope/lasso on the end, so when my horse is being a BRAT out in the field and won’t let me catch him, I could point the light at his bratty neck and a loop would fall over it!!!!

I would invent retractable stirrup leathers! No more fussing to change your stirrup length while mounted, just press a switch and lock it on what length you need! Would also make mounting a cinch… pull the stirrup down to where you need it, then reset the length once you’re in the saddle! Sighh… if only.
