In 2003  Owen Evans of Quitkick came to see me as he was having problems with some equipment he was making. He had bought the patent for a way of stopping horses kicking their stable doors. Essentially it was a battery powered box with a sensor built in that squirted a tiny jet of water on the horse when he kicked the stable door. Amazingly it worked as if by magic. However the electronics were unreliable so I redesigned it for him and it has been a total success selling in Europe and the States. I updated the system so remote kick sensors could be used in places where the stable door was solid and the horse would kick any of the walls.
