Bought a cheap hoof stand that broke after two horses

I got a no-name stand online for $85 thinking it would save me cash. The leg snapped clean off while I was working on a big draft cross last Tuesday. What do you guys use that can actually take the weight?

Check the actual weight rating, not just the brand. I've seen stands that look solid but are only rated for 800 pounds, and a draft cross can lean way more than that. @ramirez.blair is right about Tough-1 being solid, but even then, you gotta match the model to your horse.

My friend's cheap stand broke just like yours, so she finally bought a Tough-1 and it's a tank.
