As a horse person, I spend almost everyday during the summer at my barn. Even if it's sunny and 75 degrees, I'd rather be sweating all over, with a layer of dirt on my face than soaking up the sun near one of my beaches. Regardless of which kind of horse person you are, you have had a pretty good chance of coming across something called a pitchfork. Pitchforks assist in the process of mucking and allows us to sort through the shavings of our horse's stall, removing as little clean shavings as possible. But has it ever crossed your mind, that if you were a pitchfork, what kind of pitchfork would you be? Maybe it's just my random thoughts that come trotting across my mind, but I'm pretty positive that other horse people (and non-horse people for that matter) have debated and wondered which pitchfork they would most likely be. Lucky for you, I have listed them all below!
1. The Wonder Fork
This pitchfork remains as one of the greatest improvements in the mucking world. Have you had issues with the manure rolling of the edge of your pitchfork when scooping the poop? Well, worry no more! This pitchfork not only solves your biggest frustration, but is also great with scooping shavings into the stalls.
Because of the name, it takes a special kind of person to really take on the role as the Wonder Fork but is reserved for those hard-working people, that are dependable and easy to handle.
2. Durafork Pitchfork
A true specimen! This pitchfork acts as your everyday, typical mucking partner. Despite its plain looking exterior, the Durafork Pitchfork comes together as a set of three. These pitchforks are ones that like to stick with the herd, so make sure the set doesn't wander too far off from one another.
Durafork Pitchfork is for the type of person that doesn't like being alone. Because they outlast other pitchforks on the market, you'd be this pitchfork if you're one to have life-lasting friendships. Still friends with your kindergarten BFF? Then this is the pitchfork for you! (Don't forget one for your friend.)
3. SmartPak Forever Fork
The SmartPak Forever Fork has too many features to say in one sentence! The handle is not only adjustable, but it's nearly unbreakable! The basket is larger than your typical pitchfork, and we all know bigger is always better.
Because of its two year guarantee, and being so sturdy, this pitchfork helps to resemble those of us who never break a bone or sprain an ankle, despite how many unsafe situations we are in. If you are someone who sometimes wears heels and sometimes does not, this is the pitchfork for you, since you can adjust the height to make mucking with various shoes more comfortable.
4. Missy Manure Fork
Unlike the Durafork Pitchfork, the Missy Manure Fork comes in a pack of three or by itself. The standard pitchfork in the industry, but weighing a hefty 3 lbs, this is not a pitchfork one takes lightly. However, it's good for all types of terrain and can double as a rake!
Missy Manure Fork is the sassy, full of spunk person in your life or maybe that's even you! Are you someone that is really good at two things, like mucking AND raking? Then you have met your match.
5. Noble Outfitters Wave Fork
The Noble Outfitters Wave Fork (shown in purple and black) is available in multiple colors and options to customize. It's made of copolymer plastic resin tines and has a aluminum handle for a stress-free and stylish mucking experience.
This pitchfork represents the fashion-forward type of person, as well as anyone that likes to change up their colors. Adaptable, bright, and wavey are just some of the adjectives that can describe a person who is this pitchfork.
6. Durafork Pitchfork Head
Just the replacement to the Durafork you may ask? It's considered it's own pitchfork since it is a different color than the original black head.
Know someone who's ego is a bit too big? Compliments go to their head? This is the pitchfork (head) for them. This also belongs to the ones who sometimes forget to screw their heads onto their handles.
Having trouble deciding what pitchfork you truly are? Don't stress. Simply try them all and you will morph into the one that suits you best.
