    Oops, did I not say? Even makes you a cup of tea afterwards. :D

    If it could knock me up a cocktail and a dairy milk while it cut the grass I would buy 2 of them!

    Ideal solution would be teaching the horse to mow the lawn but given that isn't going to happen, I will have to get a move on and buy a new mower.!

    well, thats exactly what we do. We stick between two and five of them on the lawn and put some electric fencing round where we have a nursery bed (have not dug out borders yet). The horses love it, for somereason being in the garden is very much more exciting than being in the field next to the garden.

    My grandparents and other people with lawns but not a slave to fine turf, use dto keep a pair of lawn ponies. :D. Dh keeps threatening it here.....

    It might be time to sweet talk the neighbours to see if I can borrow a horse for a bit. The dogs will go nuts but it will save me loads of time. Maybe a couple of sheep would be less hassle?

    You think two sheep or a horse would be less hassle than a petrol lawnmower :rotfl:

    Why don't you try it and find out :D

    Bosch Rotak range are the best I have used recently.

    Another vote for the Bosch Rotak, I have used for the past 3 years, my mum as the 37 and I have the 43 (as it was on special when I went to buy it so cheaper than the 37).
