Oops--just sent a reply to sender instead of to ridecamp, too, so will try
again.  Have vetted horse sales that use these, and we are constantly
reapplying them because they come off so easily.  They wouldn't survive a good
sweat to the first vet check, let alone having a rider douse a bit of water
over the horse on a warm day.  Not much use for what we do.
