The Dungbeetle

Too late to educate the official p**per scooper of Versailles that The DUNGBEETLE is the King of manure scoops. Although I guess this one only has to last for one single week 🤣.

The DUNGBEETLE's superior workmanship means a long lifespan and years of hard service.
Standard plastic poo scoops are mass-produced with injection moulding - it's fast and cheap and produces a flimsy material that isn't strong in all directions. It becomes brittle with age and exposure to the elements.

DUNGBEETLE'S are made using rotational moulding. This slower, more labour-intensive process intertwines the individual polymer strands - creating a material renowned for superior strength, durability, UV & frost tolerance and resistance to cracking.

XC day live in the magnificent gardens of Versailles - The anticipation of thundering hooves as 2nd to go trailblazers, Shane Rose & Virgil take on jump 4. I’m in the best seat in the house!

It was truly suspenseful catching snippets of them tackling the rest of the course on the big screen. The crowd was clapping them on. Then tears stung in my eyes when 5 mins later, they had conquered the almighty goal of mending 18 broken bones in record time. True Hero’s.

A human who adores their horse 🐎

Watching Day 2 of the ‘real’ Dressage today. Team GB - what an incredible start to the day - Lotti Fry & the ever glamorous GLAMOURDALE

78.9% - my favorite ❤️

Poo - I’m only just out of enforced FB jail. Apparently guilty of violating IOC Intellectual Property rules by posting photos & videos? Unfair 🤷‍♀️😀.

Anyways … old now but here are the 3 Aussie tests. Maybe useful for those who would like to watch them again & don’t want to scroll thru hours of coverage & who are ok with iPhone quality from the stands.

LIVE Eventing Dressage was definitely a fabulous experience for me. Louis the XIV surely would have approved of the equestrian Olympics being help here in his MAGNIFIQUE garden???

It was SUPER EXCITING after the lunch break, when incredible performances kept the super scores under 30 rolling in. I think in total, 1/3 of the field managed this feat???

Shane & Virgil - 34.2 : 38th
Kevin & Don Quindum : 45th
Chris & Shadowman - 22 : equal 3rd

I don’t know enough about horses at this level to try to explain how, but WOW Shadow Man is a superb looking horse in real life. My favorite test.

My other favorites were German Julia & her Nikle as well as UK Laura & London 52.

“This is the Rolls-Royce, the Aston Martin, the McLaren version of p**per scooping … a beautiful piece of equipment … The king of the p**per-scooping army!” – REVIEW by Tristan Tucker TRT

A review that makes our DUNGBEETLE heart swell 😍 Thank you Chris and the reindeers at Lichen Caithness. You look very cute and cuddly from way over this side of the world. Yes, DUNGBEETLES are an ideal idea for all sorts of animal p**p.

Australian Reindeer Poo...💩
The Lichen Caithness Team find a solution on the other side of the world.😆😎

A quick post tonight, and a shout out to our new found friends @ 'The Dungbeetle' for making the worst part of our Reindeer care day, that bit more bearable! 😀

Those who follow the page will know the paddock poo pick antics here in Harpsdale are a constant source of pain (and entertainment😂🤪), Chris has lost track of how many 'burnt baked beans' 🫘 (aka Reindeer Berries) have been flicked into his wellies during collection sessions. It fair to say too, we've always had a hate - hate relationship with the horse manure scoops and rakes we've been using for the task... Until today!

Last week we discovered a family business in Australia that had acted on their own frustration for the traditional scoops, and developed their own solution. 😊

It looked IDEAL... except because it's designed for Horsey P**p collection in a sand school, it has wee slots in its base to keep the p**psies in, but allow the sand out. Reindeer Berries would escape... But how delighted were we when Rachel @ The Dungbeetle said they could do us a custom Reindeer friendly set and do away with these slots! (Thanks!!!)🥰🦌🦌🦌

The result is a fantastic piece of kit, much easier and more comfortable to use than a standard scoop, Chris has never been so excited about picking up sh*t. 😊🤪😂

So whilst you might not have Reindeer, if you do have horses or ponies, be sure to check out 'The Dungbeetle' page. 🦌💩❤️

Love all the Team @ Lichen Caithness xx

Read about how The Playful Pony - Clicker Training & Paddock Paradise & The DUNGBEETLE went on a lunch date at The Kyneton Hotel - Food, Drinks & Good Times 👍. The perfect Sunday arvo, I reckon.

Read about the birth of THE DUNGBEETLE

It’s about how a frustrated horse husband devised a better way to pick up sh*t.

Long suffering horse husband Twig was sick of fixing Rachelle’s banged up mesh poo scoop on a regular basis. Hammering out dings. Re-attaching handles. The damn thing always needed repairing.

At last it was finally pronounced dead after Rachelle backed over it with the horse float (whoops!)

Terrified by the prospect of having to do constant repairs on yet another crap aluminum scoop, Twig put to work his years of experience designing prototypes to create something stronger and more durable. He emerged from the shed with a beautifully crafted bright yellow scoop that would change the face of horse poo collection FOREVER!!

Why not test drive one yourself?

Tristan Tucker reviews THE DUNGBEETLE - "The King of the P**per Scooping army"

A few years back, Tristan's groom bought a DUNGBEETLE as a gift for Tristian at Olympia, London, from my trade stand. A few days later, I stumbled across this review on FB. What a surprise 🤣AND it's right on point with every feature. The DUNGBEETLES & I were very thankful. Best of all, this particular DUNGBEETLE is still working hard today at Tristan's stable 😍.

My DUNGBEETLE demo 🤩

The SWEEP with it’s cute DUNGBEETLE face, stows away snugly in it’s special moulded holder at the back of the scoop. No more tripping up over lost sweeps!

The SCOOP has a large slotted base. It’s like panning for gold – with a few simple shakes, the nuggets are safely caught while the valuable material gets sifted out & stays behind where it belongs.
