Likits Boredom Breaker

Advantages: Can help relieve boredom.
Disadvantages: May not be liked by all horses.

...A dechadedron for a horse. I have had one for years and do I use it? Not much. Why would it interest them anyway? The idea is that it is a boredom breaker. You can use it in the stable, or the felid if you wish. What is a Dechahedron? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * A dechahedron is a three dimensional 20 sided figure. This particular one is hollow and has a round hole a few inches wide at the top (or bottom depending on which way up it is), or side.

Advantages: Individual trainng and programmes. Small and friendly gym
Disadvantages: None, I love it!

There are also hamstring and thigh machines, neither of which I have had the pleasure of using yet! Bicep toners and the pec dec. I nearly gave myself a mammogram on that one! Roll on the day when I can get the 2 pads to touch rather than compromise a certain part of my anatomy! When I do, I’ll let you all know! Each time I visit I do something different to the last time I was there.
