About Us

When you run a business you are always trying to think of innovative ways to save time and money.  This is especially true of the boarding business.  With hay prices up and economy down every penny counts.  Many times I noticed how much time was wasted trying to save bedding when using a standard manure fork.  In addition, half the time you had to pick up manure more than once because it bounced out of the basket while you tried to shake out the shavings.

One day while cleaning the trailer after a roping, being hot tired and rather frustrated with the whole process, it came to me, what if the basket had a lid.  That way it would not only speed up cleaning, reduce duplication of effort, but it would save bedding.  Well, that is how the FlipFork came to be.  

We are a family owned business.  We owned and operated a boarding facility for over ten years.  We know what horse owners want, a clean well bedded stall.   From the boarding facility’s point of view, we understand that saving money and time are keys to a successful operation.  Our product can give you both.
