Re: [RC] Beans - Karen LyndThis is a timely discussion for me. I was at an organized pleasure ride this last week and an old timer told me that I needed to clean my horse's "shed." Since his stall was clean, and we weren't standing by it anyway, I looked for other meanings. I asked, "do you mean his sheath?," and the old-timer just gave me a blank look. I finally resorted to euphamisms for his private parts (my gelding's, not the old-timer's) and we finally came to a meeting of the minds. It was a little embarrassing, to say the least, but the old-timer was right. My gelding is a little crusty down there. Also, the old-timer just told me to just stick a gob of vaseline up there, and thank goodness there was no mention of beans! I didn't know him well enough to have that discussion!!! So, a question. Some of you have mentioned hosing with warm water. I don't have access to a source of warm water
to hose from (what do you have, a hot water heater in the barn?), so how upset is my gelding when he gets a squirt of cold water in his "shed"? And how hard is he going to kick me when I squirt him there? I am looking for a very long glove ... and per that article posted, I am going to stock up on KY jelly. I don't think I will able to look the store clerk in the eye!! Not looking forward to this at all! Karen Lynd __________________________________________________
