Numbers on the horse's butt.

[llayman@neorx.com]

     I found, accidentally, that the best way to get the numbers off my 
     horse's butt was to start before the number was put on.  The day 
     before I trailered to a ride I groomed him excessively with showsheen. 
     At the time, my horse was so ragged from the fly allergy battle, that 
     I was trying anything to make him presentable. When the number 
     magically came off within the next few days, I decided to remember it. 
     
     Give it a try. Sure is cleaner than baby oil and safer than WD-40 or 
     gasoline.  Personally, I kind of like leaving the numbers on because 
     I'm the only endurance rider in an Arabian Show Barn.

     I'm sure someone has some found a great way to remove the numbers 
     after a ride - short of scrubbing all the horses hide off or using 
     some toxic chemical.  My neighbor actually told me to use gasoline and 
     he was serious.  So anyone with a handy little hint - please share it.
