Welcome to our monthly series of helpful "around the farm" tips, The StableHand. Here you'll find useful, hands-on information about daily tasks, general maintenance, "time-savers" and more, all provided to assist you in making your horse property a place that you and your horse will enjoy and be proud of. Here's this months tip...

The Magic of Magnets

If you purchase a magnet with a handle attached to it at a hardware store, you can use it in several ways around the barnyard. Slowly swing it over the area where the farrier worked to pick up stray nails and nail clippings. You can also use it while you're doing a barn carpentry project to hold nails and screws safely, and to check for stray nails and screws when the job is complete. Use it to hold studs (horse shoe studs, used for traction in less than optimum footing) when putting them in (lost studs in stall bedding can be a nightmare!) Use it to hold (or find) pins for bandaging and blanketing. The handiness of such an inexpensive tool is amazing once you start to use one. There always seems to be a new task that seems perfectly suited for it.
