I find myself less than capable when it comes to handling a sponge on the end of a beta-leash with snap. First, you've got to get it unsnapped from behind the saddle - should probably switch to somewhere in front - and then you have to unsnap it from itself without dropping it. And then drop it into the water without dropping it. And somehow resnap everything. Now how do you do this on the fly? I know I'm missing something... on the last ride my sponge and leash got caught on a tree snag and ripped out part of my d-ring setup... and yesterday my sponge promptly released itself from it's leash into the water. My junior rider is no more capable. Making our spongeing episodes less than comical. Oh those sponge issues!
A handle is needed, as well as the proper size snaps. Does anyone have pics or suggestions of their favorite setup?
