Hunters were good before they took manufacturing to China, they turned a quality product into a cheap and nasty copy.
Sorry - disagree. They fell apart quickly long before they shipped manufacturing to China. They were a fashion accessory not a useful stable aid.
As an aside, a horsey chum captured the horse owners life very well the other day.
Everything to do with horses is expensive, dirty, time-consuming, hard work or some combination of all four.
