RE: [RC] [RC] sponge and sinker - Don Huston

Ditto,
No metal anywhere on my sponge. I attach a scissor snap to my saddle and clip the sponge to that. After "sponge training" I can now throw the sponge very hard straight down into the water and it sinks immediately with a big splash, then yank it up and catch it and splash both of us ;-).

I 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.

I put the snap down at the sponge end, about 6 inches up, with a loop in the
middle & the other end.  The snap acts as a sinker, then you can clip the
middle and end loop into it & attach to the saddle.
