-3- An ice pebbler is used for pebbling a sheet of curling ice. The pebbler has a wheel supported base that may be pulled or motor driven across a sheet of ice. The pebbler carries a water container for the pebbling water and a pebbler head mounted on the base for lateral movement across the sheet. The pebbler may be manually operated, pulled by hand and with a hand crank for swinging the pebbler head across the sheet. In the preferred arrangement, the wheels and the pebbler head movement are driven so that the pebbler will travel at a uniform speed along the ice sheet. The swinging movement of the pebbler head may be driven by the wheels or motor driven to provide even greater pebbling consistency. The water pressure may be from a gravity feed or air pressure, but the preferred arrangement is a pressure pump, which delivers constant pressure throughout a pebbling operation.
