RE: [RC] [RC] sponge and sinker - rides2far@xxxxxxxxI won't put anything metal on my sponge. When I snap it up to my hand I don't want it hitting my hand, and when I rub it down the horse's neck I don't want it scratching him. I took the velcro loop off of a leg wrap and sewed it around one of my sponges to hang it from the breastcollar with, but I've been through so many now and I don't wear out leg wraps often enough to have good velcro. I seldom put my sponge up long enough to need a fastener. I just tuck it in the front of my saddle till I need it (the loop stays on my arm). Honestly, if you *use* your sponge, getting it wet before the ride will keep it sinking. Mine never dried in Arizona.

The snap acts as a sinker, then you can clip the middle and end loop into it & attach to the saddle.

I also loved the advice from Angie and Mr. Prevatt. I am going to go down to the barn now and attach a sinker to my sponge and sink it in the water trough now.
