Re: Blankets on Sale? Any Suggestions?
I have found some nice, new Rambo's on Ebay and also Bit of Britain recently had a sale, not sure if it's still running. I'm loyal to Rambo, but I do need just a couple of thin stable sheets. I tried a friends cotton ones and I don't like how they "stick" to the horse, I also think from th...

Re: Appliance need number 4 - What irons do you like and why?
Rowenta all the way...been loyal to them for a good 20 years. I have city water but still use a softener, so I buy bottled spring water for my iron. I think it helps extend the life.

Re: Favorite "Cool" Saddle Pad
Fatcat - Oh, that looks nice. So you see very little to no part of the pad once saddled. I do have to use a sheepskin 1/2 pad on top of my regular pad, as my saddle is a bit wide on her. Wonder if that is keeping her on the warm side too, even though it's not right on her back.

Re: Favorite "Cool" Saddle Pad
Thanks for the suggestions. I didn't realize that the foam core could actually be making her warmer/sweaty. The pad itself is not foam, only the interior is a squishy foam.

Favorite "Cool" Saddle Pad
I've been using a nice EOUS pad with some foam inside for my new mare. While I like it, with the warm weather and her body temp being on the hot side, she sweats terribly under it.
I'm looking for suggestions for a new pad that keeps the horses back cooler and offers some protection.
Thank You !

Re: Our "OOPSY!" foal.
Absolutely adorable!
last May when I ended up with an oops foal, my plan was to name it Bogo (buy one get one) or Two-fer. when it turned out that it was a filly, I ended up,choosing a more feminine name.
Did the stallion owner or the boarding farm assume any accountability?

I wash them with anti-bacterial dish soap and let them line dry.
