Does anyone know where i can buy a measuring stick please. thanks

try a measure stick for minature ponies -- see http://www.amazon.com/Miniature-Donkey-Horse-Measuring-Stick/dp/B00138NZIM

Is it a stick you want of a hoop? have seen continental judges with a stick but it is more usual at shows to see hoops. Only ask because if it is for training purposes a hoop may be better.

I bought one from Karmidale, it arrived really quickly, reasonably priced and does the job. If I were bring critical I would want a measuring stick either with a base or a spirit level - but I'm not that fussy :-)
