Horse mucking rake device

A horse mucking rake device, which comprises:

• (a) a substantially straight elongated handle;
• (b) a base frame connected to said handle, said base frame extending outwardly at right angles from said handle at its area of connection to said handle, in a substantially flat plane to establish a predetermined frame width;
• (c) a plurality of tines extending from said base frame at right angles to said frame width, each of said tines having an upper segment and a lower segment wherein the upper segment has a top and a bottom and the lower segment also has a top and bottom, said upper segment of each of said tines being parallel to said handle in a direction of extension and being parallel to one another, and being connected to said frame at its top and being connected to the top of a corresponding lower segment at its bottom, said lower segment of each of said tines being non-parallel to said handle in said direction of extension and being parallel to one another, and forming an angle with an imaginary axis extending from said handle of about 30.degree. to about 60.degree., said lower segment of each of said tines forming a terminus at its bottom;
• and,
• (d) a cage having a bottom, sidewalls, a back and a front and having an open top, said front of said cage forming an angle relative to its bottom of about 30.degree. to about 60.degree., said angle being approximately equal to the angle formed between the lower segment of each of said tines and said imaginary axis extending from said handle, said cage being connected directly to said frame, and said cage also being connected to said tines such that its bottom is connected directly to at least some of said upper segments of said tines and its front is connected to at least some of said lower segments of said tines.
