is there any way you can replace them...if not, how do you keep yours clean?

Thanks.

Local feed barn sells replacements, really randomly! Its Elm Farm Feeds in claygate, the number should be on the internet or in a local horse mag thing .Am sure if you asked nicely they would post?

Here's a suggestion why don't you buy some sheepskin pieces ( I got some off ebay they were off cuts) then cut to shape. Sew or glue some velcro on the back of them and stick or stitch the opposite ( either material or gripper depending on what you put on sheepskin bit) on the underside of the grackle. Voila you can then have a few to choose from and can remove them easily to wash.

Mine has never had a sheepskin bit

but that may be because its an odd shape accross the nose instead of a disk.

I used to use sheepskin with my hackamore and also on a breastgirth, I went to a charity shop and bought a sheepskin jacket for a fiver. You can choose your colour too, there are always loads of jackets for sale.
