🐴 HANK HERE.
Before anyone starts tagging RSPCA because my human is jumping up and down on a purple DUNGBEETLE… relax. She’s not unwell. She’s demonstrating.

What you’re witnessing is a full‑body, high‑impact, kangaroo‑mode strength test of the mighty DUNGBEETLE Pooper Scooper.

And look at it go.
No cracks.
No buckling.
Not even a polite groan.

That’s because this thing is UV tough, frost tough, and basically uncrackable — built for years of paddock punishment… including whatever this exercise routine is.

Standard plastic poo scoops are mass‑produced with injection moulding. It’s fast and cheap, but it creates flimsy plastic that isn’t strong in all directions and becomes brittle with age and weather.

DUNGBEETLES are different.
They’re made using rotational moulding — a slower, more labour‑intensive process that intertwines the polymer strands, creating a material renowned for superior strength, durability, UV & frost tolerance, and resistance to cracking.
And the handles? Super‑strong anodised aluminium that won’t leave your hands black.

Anyway — carry on, human.
Show the world what I already know:
The DUNGBEETLE is the strongest, toughest, most colourful poo‑scooping beast in Australia.

Now… since you’re warmed up…
There’s a fresh pile over there with your name on it.

HAPPY EASTER FROM TEAM DUNGBEETLE!
Easter morning sunshine, ponies prancing in the light,
Hank drops chocolate eggs that aren’t quite egg‑shaped or polite.
But fear not, dear paddock—hope rolls in, bold and super,
For rising from the tack shed comes the DUNGBEETLE Pooper Scooper.
With holy sifts and sacred slots, it cleans the land once more—
A true Easter miracle… just minus the church décor.

I thought I’d share this very special testimonial before Christmas 🎅 wraps up and the New Year kicks off 🥂🍾, because it captures everything I love about our DUNGBEETLE horse Pooper Scooper creation. Thank you, Kathy Scanlon
💚💙🧡

“Hello!!
5 years of The Dungbeetle.
Countless ponies and horses p**ps picked, every morning and every single night, 365 days a year. Endless children's arguments quashed by those who use The DB and not forced to use a more inferior version. An unknown number of worm burdens not eventuated due to poo removal! 1 pony has had his p**ped picked by our colourful friends from Day 1! Thank you for your awesome product! The colours get better and better!”
💚💙🧡
Five years of colour, chaos‑prevention, poo‑patrol pride, and the brightest scoops in the paddock. What a way to close out the year ⭐

🟩 Meet the GREEN GRENADIER DUNGBEETLE. This p**per scooper is the spirit tool for the horse who’s calm in storms, steady in rallies, and never late to the mounting block. They’re the paddock’s quiet achiever—the one who keeps chaos in check while everyone else is busy showing off. Who is the Poofect rider match? It's the organised soul with a checklist in hand, a backup halter in the float, and a pocket full of bribes. No drama. No fuss. Just gear that works every single time.
Dependable. Durable. Dung‑Destroying.

When Hank inspects the gear, you know it’s serious. Meet the DUNGBEETLE, Stronger than your stirrups, more stamina than a Melbourne Cup winner 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪

This Red DUNGBEETLE scooper isn’t just a pretty face—it’s Hank-approved for strength, durability, and full-blown mucking glory. And if your horse is a Loud & Proud Firecracker—the kind who p**ps mid-canter, kicks the gate for drama, and struts like they own the arena—then the 💥 The FIRECRACKER FLINGER RED DUNGBEETLE scoop is their spirit tool.
Durable. Dashing. Dung-dominating.

Hank says: “If it can handle my paddock politics, it can handle anything.

🎉 What a weekend! Hank and I trotted off to the OTT Carnival Extravaganza at Boneo to celebrate the mighty Thoroughbred and their incredible second careers. Hank’s racing name was “Evastar”—which sounds fast, glamorous, and full of promise. In reality? Hank may be the slowest racehorse in the southern hemisphere (possibly the world). But now, as a retired racehorse turned dressage darling, Hank’s found his true calling. He strutted into Boneo and delivered his best-ever test—nailed all his simple changes and sparkled like a star. The springy surfaces may have helped, but Hank insists: We didn’t quite make the placings this time, but hey—there’s always next year”. Hank’s already planning his browband upgrades.

💩 Hank says: “Retired from racing, not from glory.”

💰 Huge cheers to the talented horses and riders who won those very generous $5300 OTT cheques—you were poetry in motion! And yes, some of that scoop-worthy wealth trotted straight to the DUNGBEETLE stand…

🍒 As the cherry on top, a whole herd of DUNGBEETLE Pooper Scoopers found loving new homes—some thanks to the freshly minted cheque-winners whose pockets were suddenly burning with scoop-worthy ambition. May your paddocks be clean and your horses proud.

👀 And there was plenty more to watch: athletic Showjumpers, elegant Show Hunters, and even a Fashions on the Field showdown and plenty of extra entertainment on the main arena. Hank was tempted to enter some other events, but said his sparkly browband already won “Best Accessory.”

🎟️ Word’s probably out about how fun this event was. Top tip: next year might require AFL Grand Final-level ticket tactics. I’ll be camped out on the Boneo website with snacks, a stopwatch, and Hank supervising from his throne.

The DUNGBEETLE is saddling up for something seriously exciting! We’re heading to Racing Victoria’s 2025 Off The Track Carnival at Boneo Park on Sept 13–14 🐎

With 400+ retired racehorses dazzling the arenas each day & $200,000 in prize money across Dressage, Combined Training, Showjumping, and Show Horse… this event is a full-blown celebration of the mighty thoroughbred beyond the racetrack.

And guess who’s joining the Trade Village? Yep, THE DUNGBEETLE p**per scooper—cleaning up in style and on sale for this weekend only! 💩✨

Meanwhile, I’ll be out there in the Dressage with my trusty steed HANK —he’s basically horse-shaped Superman. Trail rides, ARC rallies, dressage, and even the occasional jump when I’m feeling brave… Hank does it all. And when he’s not being a legend under saddle, he moonlights as a supermodel for The DUNGBEETLE.

Buyer beware ... during my competition time, the trade stand will be in the capable (and slightly chaotic) hands of my 14 year old son.

Come say hi, grab a DUNGBEETLE at a rare discounted price, and soak up the magic of Off The Track thoroughbreds doing what they do best—ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. 💚

🐴💬 Hank the Horse here & I have opinions. I may be looking at a pile of p**p, but I’m also looking at greatness: The DUNGBEETLE Pooper Scooper.

Here are my Top 10 reasons why it deserves a blue rosette (or at least a carrot):
1️⃣ Strong as a Clydesdale
2️⃣ Safer than a Schoolmaster - no sharp bits
3️⃣ More colourful than a Jockey’s Jersey
4️⃣ Won’t rust
5️⃣ Bigger poo-carrying capacity = fewer trips
6️⃣ Lightweight enough for teens, toddlers, and tired riders
7️⃣ No black mystery smudges on your hands
8️⃣ Sweep stows securely onto scoop—no tripping over lost sweeps
9️⃣ Slotted base for sifting out sand and sass
🔟 100% Aussie designed & produced

Whether you’re cleaning up after a champion or a cheeky fluffball like me, The DUNGBEETLE’s got your back. Scoop smart, scoop proud. The only problem with The DUNGBEETLE is if you don’t own one 💩

I wanted to say a Congo line of DUNGBEETLES—but alas, the official collective noun is a “Roll” of DUNGBEETLES. That’s right: a Roll! 🌀 It refers to their signature move— rolling balls of dung, which they use for food & breeding. Nature’s little recyclers with a flair for drama. What a FUN FACT!

Anyway—this is the largest roll 🌀of DUNGBEETLES Twig & I have ever packaged up and had ready to roll. And it all started thanks to a brilliant post on the Facebook group “Horse Hacks & Budget Savers”.

Someone asked:
“Show me your poo pick-up ideas. My heart says buy a cute, amazing, horse-designed scooper. My head says there’s gotta be a good hack out there… but I want it to look nice and not like I’ve got a crappy two-dollar dustpan.”

Well, that post lit up the comments section like a bonfire on a frosty paddock night. People shared all kinds of clever, budget-friendly hacks for picking up horse p**p. But here’s the kicker—so many people stopped by with rave reviews of our beloved DUNGBEETLE that it became clear: sometimes, the hack just doesn’t cut it. Sometimes, you need the real deal.

Here’s a taste of the praise:

• Rebecca says “Buy DUNGBEETLE scoopers !! They are sensational”

• Nicole: “Dungbeetle will change your life.”

• Lissi: “DUNGBEETLE—absolute game changer AND Australian!”

• Cointreau: “I’m a recent convert. Love that the handle has its own little slot/holder. Got a bright green one!”

• Kate: “Just get a Dungbeetle. Once you have one, you’ll never go back… We have six.”

• Another Kate: “The Dungbeetle is all I’ll use. Never buying anything else again. They’re faultless.”

• Kylie: “Once you’ve used a DUNGBEETLE, there’s no going back.”

• Loren: “DUNGBEETLE scoops!!! AMAZING!!!”

• Rochelle: “Another vote for DUNGBEETLE. Mine’s purple!”

• Nicole Toll: “DUNGBEETLE—the only one I haven’t broken. It’s lasted years.”

• Sarah: “Just spend the money on a DUNGBEETLE. They’re awesome! Lightweight, UV resistant, bright colours… you can literally run over them and they survive. Don’t ask how I know.”

• Ashleigh: “Best I’ve ever had—and I’ve tried quite a few.”

• Tory: “All these comments reminded me I need to buy my third DUNGBEETLE. One in the tie-ups, one at the arena, and now I want a short-handled one for my float. Long live the DUNGBEETLE!”

• Kerry: “Sorry, but THE DUNGBEETLE wins over any hack, hands down. The BEST p**per scooper I’ve had in over forty years in the horse industry. LOVE IT.”

• Samantha: “It’s so good! I asked for the long-handled orange one for my birthday from my Nan. She was a bit confused why I wanted a poo scooper for my birthday. Next birthday—I need a second one for my float.”

• Tiff: “I have the long handle for paddock and stable pick-up, and now I’m buying the short handle for my float. BEST EVER.”

💛 A MASSIVE THANK-YOU to everyone who stopped to post such GREAT reviews and, in doing so, supported mine & Twig’s small Australian business. Your enthusiasm, kindness, and word-of-mouth magic mean the world to us. You’ve helped us roll this little dream further than we ever imagined!
