When my last horse was P T S, I thought would take couple of months of before I started looking. This lasted just a few weeks as I didn't have a life without a horse in it. I found a stunning black mare.. my old horse was a black gelding. I was so happy and then I felt guilty for being happy...
Have you heard of stinky stuff? Might be worth checking them out. They do all sorts of stuff for horses and other animals. All their products are made from natural products. Not sure if much help, couldn't think of anything else sorry. Hope you get it sorted
Seems a little unfair, but as you agreed sorry to say you will have to sort them out. Many people who sharpen the blades do service them as well. So it's worth checking someone who does this out. Good luck with it.
I have recently said£20 for wash and proof. Saddle pads and boots there could be a demand, but personally I either hand wash or put them in my washing machine. I do know people that would say for the service. Good luck with it.
