Oh yes, rubber feed bowls. Can’t get on board with the colourful plastic ones.
I love a poly pad too! Just so easy... and yes, my dogs sleep on them too ?I like Polypads, good enough for Mary King, good enough for me! I have used them for years and years on all sorts of ponies and horses. They make good dog beds when they get a bit frayed around the edges!
I always buy Dermolene shampoo, saddle soap in a bar, Neatsfoot oil, Red Rockies.
I still have a pot of it, even though out of date.I would go back to Dermobion like a shot if it was still available.
I've had synthetic bridles but always come back to leather in the end.
Great idea for a thread.

Yes also Clipping according to work to. Ca't stand clipping a horse living out full time take all it's knickers of and body hair and riding it 3 times a week medium work. alsoCutting feed and increasing work for naughty horses!
With you on this, I’ve been given some synthetic nylon ones and they have a squeaky feel and it makes me cringe!Twisted cotton lead ropes, none of the others last like it or tie properly or feel as nice.

"I've just rediscovered lampwick girths at my saddlers recommendation - managed to find one in my tack archive but am desperate to get another (that's not white!). It works for better than the array of expensive "technical" new fangled leather ones I've been suckered into buying."
Is your saddler Kay Humphries? Her home base is Norton and Newby , (google) they sell lamp wick girths. I chose a nice brown one. They are quite expensive but do not be tempted with the cheap ones on Ebay from Australia, they are not nearly as good. Nowadays the buckles are sewn on with a nylon binding, not like the old ones which were attached with leather. I had the buckles come right through the leather on one years ago, at a good gallop!!
