I have just finished using Munk;s horse/livestock sling. The metal poles and cross bars are very well made of strong aluminum and the the suspension straps, belly support, breast collar and round paddled hind leg straps work great. I found it easiest to put it all together, and with the horse lying down put it over the legs then turn the horse over on his other side by rolling him over on his back with ropes on his legs. The horse fit well in the sling and was then easy to hoist up and lower. I like the design. Marie Potter
