How often do you change/clean your numnahs/Saddle cloths?

[3Beasties]

Just curious really!

I tend to wash mine after a week of use (ridden in about 5 times) unless they were to get really sweaty in one session in which case I would put it in the wash after that ride.

What do you do?

 

[Eira]

Changed after every ride

Little Cob - every ride.

Little Lad - every ride.

Both get so sweaty!

Dizz has a new snazzy Numed half wool saddle cloth thingy, so washing is a bit more time consuming

. Hm. Must go buy another one?

 

[rara007]

Blimey- I don't think Gingas every day one has ever been washed

Pips has been washed once since new at christmas.

Its only because I have a (not very) secret obsession for buying numnahs/bandages so I need to use them all

 

[Tiarella]

Ermm, not very often at all

I do have bout 20 numnahs & saddlecloths though

 

[Bowen4Horses]

ok skank alert..., once a month? but he's in light work, hardly ridden, and rarely works up a sweat.

So do I, I had 21 saddle cloths (just for Charlie!) at my last count!

They are all going on ebay tomorrow though except for about 5 that I will still use!

 

[3Beasties]

Yay at least I am not the only skanky one on here!

 

[kafrin181995]

every time i ride as they are tuned out in sand paddocks and the sand gets on them and rubs their coats!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Difficult to say

- my sheepskin ones get washed when they need it (depends on how much sweat etc) but its probably not more than once a month

(don't use on GP saddle in summer - its for toasty winter riding) as only on stressage saddle. The cotton saddle cloths get washed pretty much every ride due to sweaty beasts - they both need some more.

 

[Chico Mio]

Once a week, along with girths, boots and gelpads. Or about every fourth ride if we're not riding a lot.

 

[the watcher]

After ever 2-3 sessions, unless horribly sweaty, then they get washed after every use.

 

[tammyrocks]

bout once a month but we change them every weekish and wash them all together as we only have 4 everyday ones.

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

Fairly often, probably after about 6 uses

 

[Janah]

Like the others depends on how sweaty they get. Probably once a week ridden most days.

[hellybelly6]

Once a month!

 

[spookypony]

When it smells...yuck...need to wash it more often. The white dressage one gets washed after every show, or 2 if we're lucky.

 

[AmyMay]

Usually ever time I ride.

 

[Lobelia_Overhill]

I just washed mine today and I've had it less than a month ...

 

[spotty_pony]

Usually once a week.

 

[katie_and_toto]

Toto has gazillions of numnahs so they get swapped over after every ride, and washed when starting to look a bit dirty

 

[Irishcobs]

At work we wash them everyday but we use the yards polypads on everything unless they have to have a special numnah. If the horses haven't sweated to much we will use the same polypad on 2 different horses, changing sides.
At home, I am really bad as I don't tend to change nummahs that often, about once every 2 weeks. But I do brush them down and air them so they dry properly between uses.

 

[Chumsmum]

Every couple of rides though everytime if very sweaty. I use the Nuumed everyday numnahs which wash and dry easily.

Can anyone recommend one of those washbag thingys - I'm sick of horse hair in the washing machine

 

[3Beasties]

Here's one I found on Ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Horsewear-Wash-Bag...93%3A1|294%3A50

I haven't tried it but have been thinking about getting one for a while, I am always getting moaned at about the state of the washing machine!

 

[PapaFrita]

Depends. I try to wash them about once a week, especially in summer, but I'm not allowed to use the washing machine and doing them by hand is a bit of a chore!! I might just have to buy loads more!

What do you do?

Same as you. Ditto re girths as well.

 

[LizzieJ]

I use polypads and tend to let them go once or twice on each side

I have a lot of them and was them all every couple of weeks.
