Are stable rubbers old hat these days?

[sleepykitten]

I was looking for a new stable rubber to wick the dust off my ponies, I can't seem to find one anywhere!! I did see one in the Robinsons catalogue, but they have been out of stock forever!

I use them to get a nice shine on my poglets.

Anyone know where I can get one or am I just old and behind the times with my grooming kit??

I use the muslins I had from when my boys were babies - they are great! Mothercare/Boots etc sell them.

Yes, that's all they are. I found my old one under the stairs the other day - I remember it cost £3 in the late 70s (that was extremely expensive, even then!). i think I asked for it as one of my christmas presents along with a "New Zealand Rug"

tea towels here too (the super cheap ones with a red stripe from ikea are about 40p), waaay cheaper than a stable rubber and just the same thing!
