This is one of those automatic
door-closers such as is commonly used on fire doors, but this is designed for the doors on outbuildings where horses are kept. The door-closer will not operate automatically, but only based on input from its sensors - the first, a PIR (Passive Infra-Red) sensor (as used
in many home burglar alarms) is used to confirm that the stable is empty, and the second sensor is an array of directional microphones, designed to detect the clattering of hooves going past.

does it count the horses? oh, I see, works when the stable is empty. can't think why this has not been done before. |

Makes me think of a complementary idea: |
|
|
Closing Door Repeller So it doesn't hit you on the way out... |

//What if this was prone to explode now and then?// |
|

As long as it's only the bloody doors that are blown off then we're ok (I'm not sure where the blood comes from). |
|
|
This idea would have been very useful, if only we could have implimented it earlier. |

// if only we could have implimented it earlier. // |

That's because suitable backward-looking PIR
detectors, designed for "hindsight", have only
recently become available. |

I thought this was a device to prevent the "closing of
the door to the stable after the horse had gone"
experience. As in, to keep the stable door closed to
prevent the horse from escaping. I really need one
of those |

Easy. Shoot the horse. Job done. |

Zenco has the solution here, simply install the convenient mounting bracket into the stable, this allows the attachment of all manner of Equine beastery using a standardised threaded nut, washer and pin system through holes drilled in the hooves. Once your beasts have been secured to the wall, the stable door can be safely closed. Job Done. |

Yes, and also a portable horse's head with a small loudspeaker in the mouth which you can direct important announcements through, in order to lend your utterings a spurious gloss of trustworthiness. |
