[RC] Winter hair and saddle pads - Barbara McCrary
Was this topic discussed before...I don't remember.
Today I rode my horse with his new Specialized Saddle. He seems to be
happy with it, but toward the end of the ride, I could tell he was beginning to
hurt somewhere. Upon arriving home and stripping the saddle, I found the
saddle pad, a Haf without inserts, had scrubbed his winter hair into balls and
wads in the loin area and these wads were pulling against the hair roots.
No wonder the poor horse was hurting. Any suggestions for a
solution? I thought about a wool pad perhaps? Any other ideas?
