The International Exhibition: stable fittings by Messrs. Musgrave Brothers... 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: stable fittings by Messrs. Musgrave Brothers, of Belfast, 1862. Open stall, with patent sliding barrier; open stall, with tumbling manger; harmless loose-box...the new features introduced [are] not only ingenious but extremely useful..."A patent harmless loose-box manger, which is so arranged that an open iron grating comes forward and is bolted perpendicularly flush with its front edge. In this state a violent horse cannot possibly rear or kick into it...The arrangements for fixing the ordinary iron manger are excellent, it being effected by an iron shoe, which is fitted loosely on the front and screws into the face of the partition on each side. This makes the manger fit exactly to any varying width...The revolving mash-trough is capital, being far more easily cleaned out...So also the false bottom hinged to the back of the rack, so as to adapt it either for "cut- stuff" or hay, is extremely valuable...A wooden saddle-airer is an improvement...allowing plenty of air to circulate without the contact of damp flannel and iron...A barrier-pole sliding back into a recess in the stall-trevis is like-wise an improvement, as it is so easily drawn out that even the most idle groom is likely to use it". From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a selection of stable fittings exhibited by Messrs. Musgrave Brothers at The International Exhibition in 1862. The image highlights several innovative designs that aimed to improve the welfare and management of horses. At the forefront of the display is an open stall with a patent sliding barrier, which allows for easy access while maintaining the safety of both the horse and handler. The stall also features a tumbling manger, designed to prevent horses from damaging it with their hooves. One of the most notable inventions is the patent harmless loose-box manger. This ingenious design includes an open iron grating that bolts flush with the front edge, preventing horses from rearing or kicking into it. The manger's adjustable fitting, achieved by an iron shoe that screws into the partition on each side, ensures a perfect fit for varying stall widths. Another impressive feature is the revolving mash-trough, which facilitates easy cleaning and efficient feeding. Additionally, the false bottom hinged to the back of the rack is valuable as it can be adapted for cut-stuff or hay. A wooden saddle-airer is also displayed, which allows for plenty of air circulation without the contact of damp flannel and iron, ensuring a more comfortable environment for the horse. Lastly, a barrier-pole sliding back into a recess in the stall-trevis is an improvement, making it easily accessible for even the most idle groom. These new features, as described in the Illustrated London News in 1862, demonstrate the Musgrave Brothers' commitment to creating not only ingenious but extremely useful innovations for horse care.
