We Are Flying Solo

It’s An Organizer! It’s A Mounting Block! It’s…A Pretty Sweet Box!


For 175 lbs of feet or bum! Solo box incl. for scale.
Raise your hand if you are so over digging for the hoofpick in the abyss that is your grooming box.

Yeah.  OVER.  IT.

Lucky for you, I've always got one eye open for the perfect box.  Brush box.  Clipper box.  Blanket box.  Boot box.  Organize ALL THE THINGZ box.

Well, what if it has a treaded top & is weight-rated for use as a mounting block (or picking ticks like a monkey braiding manes) too?  Oh yes.

 The polypropelene Horze Smart Grooming Box has not only that, but also sports a lock loop on the front for security & arrives in your matchy colour of choice (maaaan, I should have gone for the powder blue, it's our accent colour...but hey, there is even something for you crazy pink lovers!).

Removable divider & "bits 'n pieces" tray in place
With a lift-out accessory tote & divider, it doesn't become the dreaded Bottomless Purse.

Neat trick: the basket will sit on the edge for mud slurry avoidance needs!
Its only shortcoming: it is a tad too short for the critical "spray bottle test."

Derp.  But it's ok, your WD-40 still fits!!
BUT. Domed lid still leaves room for sticky-uppies. (It's a word now, deal)
However, as a compact organizer with double-duty stool powers, I think it's a great option with lots of flexibility, especially for the trailer:  a travel grooming, clipper, wrap, braiding, or what-can-you-think-of box for the trail or showgrounds that hangs around to give you a leg up, so you don't have to do that "I totally meant to slide off my trailer fender to check out my horse's girth VERY closely" moment (oh, is that just me?).

Added size information:  boost height is 12", while your standing platform on top is approximately 14" long by 11" wide.
For all your favourite matchy thingz!  Ok, so I really like blue...a lot... What product placement?? ;P
Check it out along with other great grooming goodies here; all products come with a 30-day 'happiness guarantee' & orders over $75 ship both ways for free!

Thanks again to the great & always friendly folks at Horze for the opportunity to share a hands- (& feet) on experience with you!

  1. Sweet! I was just looking at that last week! I came across it when doing a web search for a portable mounting block. Now since I know it has the Flying Solo Seal of Approval, I feel safe ordering one :)

    1. LOL, I know, I've had it on my Amazon Wish List for a while, but farm priorities kept trumping it...but I am still pondering which pile of crap I want to organize it with, hee.

    1. You think even my two stacked pallets? Because my feet NEVER slide between the board gaps, ha. I confess I have not had a chance to test the built-in mounting feature yet, what with altering between rain & my job cooking my bone marrow on the boat bow. I wanted to wait until I had some weight in it so I didn't just flip it over...uh, not that I would, uh, no...

  5. Their website is a dangerous place filled with temptation, LOL!

  6. I need one of those! Of course, I also need to pay my bills.

  7. Oooooooh. That's sooo clever! Although, I wish it came in my color: Fluorescent yellow. Seriously, all my away stuff is fluorescent yellow because nobody steals fluorescent yellow stuff, and if they do I can spot it from across the show grounds. I could probably paint it.... I do need to know how tall it is, though, because I'm short and ride tall horses (total Napoleon complex).

    P.S. I thought of you today when I called my horse every variation of the f-word I could think of after he "spooked" during a volte. There is so much more cursing.....

    1. ROFL, well, at least I have an entertaining word associated with me!!

      I measured last night & will add to post as well: you'll get a 12" boost (oh, Google keywords is going to love that) & a standing platform of approximately 12" x 14" (scientifically measured with a piece of paper on hand). Not huge, but about your average trail log boost, LOL.

  8. That looks like the perfect first-aid kit organizer! Will have to buy one once I have two nickels to rub together!

    1. Oh no! Now I has a sad. :( They won't ship it on the boat? (I lived in Melbourne for a year when I was in college, shipped a LOT of stuff home on the slow, i.e. cheap, boat)
