Re: [RC] Colored saddle pad - Karla Watson

Title: Colored saddle pad
If your horse ever gets temporarily stained, try using the swimmers shampoo or "deep" cleansing/detox shampoos that professional hair lines put out. The grocery stores ones won't cut it. Professional lines have ones that penetrate that first layer without harm. I use them before perms and when I need to remove a bit of color. You must leave it on a few minutes and scrub a bit. In a pinch, lemon Joy dishwashing soap may work, believe it or not. I recommend it to my clients when they have botched up their color at home and it got too dark and can't see me for a few days.

I had a saddle pad with color  bleed dye onto my gray gelding and turn him pink.  The pink stain didn?t wash off of him even with color brightener shampoos.  He looked like a ?My Pretty Pony? the whole ride season.  No amount of washing/rinsing the pad helped either.  Maybe having a Dixie Midnight under it would have helped but I didn?t know about them at the time.  I am pretty sure a post production dye job is going to bleed onto your horse and your gear when it gets wet.
