    I'm in the sew instead of rubber band or yarn camp. My yarn braids have always looked frightful and my hands are arthritic enough that managing the bands makes me cranky.

    Wow. Just wow. I find it surprising that anyone would send a saddle out for sale in that condition, but you did a fantastic job on getting it clean!!

    Actually, whatever works for you is the right way to do it! Some folks have liked it better when they have raised suds with it, which does take more water. :) I usually use less water, but most of...

    I'm glad you got it! Since the story of the soap went on the website, I stopped including it in with soap when it shipped, simply because I included color photos in the page and I didn't want to try...

    I do store my sponge in the container, but if you put it in there Really Wet it will dissolve soap. It is best to wring it as dry as possible before returning it to the jar.

    Buzz was very short backed and most square dressage pads looked huge on him. He was competed by a professional at recognized events in a contoured pad in black. Whatever works best for the horse :)
