Official description: Equerry British Bulldog yard broom
The colourful Equerry British Bulldog yard broom features two fibre strengths to help make light work of sweeping away all types of debris found in the stable yard. The stiff fibres at the front will remove stubborn dirt and debris whilst the softer fibres at the back will enable the broom to catch lighter debris. The hollow centre in the middle of the broom head ensures the brush fibres don’t become clogged. This lightweight broom comes with a black handle with a screw fixing for easy assembly.
Colours: Red, blue, purple or pink.
Handle length: 150cm
Head width: 45cm

First impressions
This looked like a nice, lightweight broom that would be easy to use. It felt like a good length, too.
Overview of performance
This broom was really good at getting dust and dried dirt up, but it also performed well when sweeping wet surfaces. The hollow centre means the bristles are spaced out more, which made it less likely for hay and dirt to get caught – it really worked and I liked this feature.
Lisa’s likes and dislikes
I liked that it din’t clog, but it was also easy to store and an overall sturdy broom.
