Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Sheath Cleaning & Psychology - rubber surgical gloves

I think Sex is the problem when it comes to sheath cleaning.

I don't know if it counts as a sexual act for the horse, but it's very
similar to things I have done in my past, and things that I find quite
enjoyable even today (warm washcloth, soapy water, etc).  I know horses are
different.  Still, sometimes I wonder.  I know my mare had a gelded
boyfriend, and I'm told that sometimes, real early in the morning, he would
mount her.

I would venture to guess that every guy is a bit worried that his horse is
enjoying it a bit too much, for the reason that we think we might enjoy
similar attention ourselves.

I believe I was the one that recommended using rubber gloves.  As I was
doing the dishes tonight (actually, performing the rare act of putting my
dish in the dishwasher) I realized that I could be misunderstood.  I didn't
mean wear rubber gloves like the ones used to wash dishes or handle
dangerous chemicals.  My wife got several boxes of surgical gloves at Costco
one day and I use them.  They allow a good level of feeling to pass through
and they don't get in the way.  When done, they can be removed in a way that
prevents you from ever having to touch the nasty stuff.
