Ahhh loin rubs.  Spring is in the air! :-)  I've had loin rubs every
spring since I got my OF, and never a sore horse.  Funny, it doesn't do a
thing to his hair until it's almost time to shed.  I ride plenty, even
compete with winter coat in the fall and no rubs, so I just consider it
accelerated shedding.
