Re: [RC] [RC] re: RP pads - terry banister

After washing saddle pads in the home machine, I run the washing machine through another complete cycle with an empty load(and no soap) to flush excess horse hair/hay/grit. Works pretty good.

Hi, Cindy,

Steph did the mods on her Supracor pad, I'm also curious about what the edges look like.

Do you have a spare pad set or two? I would hate to have only one set. Two seems to be minimum, I wait to wash them until both are dirty.

Some people we know don't wash their pads until they get crusty! We won't name names, LOL.

I wash mine in my only washer which is in dubious shape anyway, and haven't noticed horse hair (or cat hair) in my undies...maybe it's because I use the presoak cycle (and don't use either of the "wash cycles", either normal or delicate?

I never tried an underpad with my mare or gelding, though with other saddles my mare could walk a pad right out from underneath towards the neck, due to loin pressure. The standard pads seemed to work fine for her and she went on to do another 600ish miles before I made her get pregnant (anyone looking for a future HWT's mount, due in April? Arab x Lippizan, now that should be some fun at the start!)

regards,
Lynne

Just wanted to clarify that I have absolutely no problem with the pad that
comes with the saddle as to fit or wear on the horse...I'm just lazy and
hate washing the skito/toklat pad every few days.  I don't have a separate
washer for horse stuff and have to spend time cleaning the horse hair,
etc. out of the washer, too, because for some reason my husband doesn't
like horse hair stuck in his underwear.  I just wanted to know if there
was something I could put under it, like the supercor that would work.
Lynne, you never said, is there anything you did to modify the supercor
other than trim off the edges?  When you cut off the trim, is there any
problem with fraying?  Cindy
