Cleaning Haul

Ariat Polish (Black) - £3.09

This is a complete blast from the past as I used to use this when I had Melody at pony club but this is in my mind the best polish out there! It is great a rejuvenating old saddles and making smart ones even smarter! There is also a brown version but I think it's harder to find, but seriously, even if you are not competing, use this! The polish brings out a great shine but you do need to make sure that you buffer the leather, you don't want the polish coming off on to your jodhpurs!

Lincoln Lanolised Leather Soap - £3.98

This was a new buy for me and boy was I impressed! This stuff is great at cleaning and conditioning, throw away your Belvoir tack cleaner spray and Belvoir tack conditioner spray and get this! I can't believe I have been going through years of scrubbing away with Belvoir's stuff when I could have had this all along, it gets away all the dirt with adding a gorgeous shine in its place, seriously you could use this for low key events to make your tack polished! It puts a great shine on but not too glam so perfect for hunter tack and xc tack.

Carr & Day & Martin Tack Cleaning Sponge - £1.10

 This sponge is fairly small so you might want a larger cloth for the seat of your saddle but its a great wee sponge. Its a does-what-it-says-on-the-tin kinda thing, it just does the job, I wasn't over impressed and at awe with this product but neither was I disappointed. Stains easily but doesn't make any marks on leather, though I would say don't use for both brown and black tack :)

Lincoln Classic Horse Shampoo - £4.98

This is was quite disappointing considering I was so chuffed with my leather soap from Lincoln, again this was a new buy. Years ago we bought gallons of a shampoo (forgotten name) and never needed to buy any until now. This shampoo is watery and doesn't produce any foam with is the key to telling if a horse is clean. I will use this but I won't buy it again at that price, Its okay for a quick wash after a ride but defo doesn't cut it for a deep clean :(

Lincoln (Apparently) Dog Bone Sponge (Blue) - £0.88

This was disappointing as well, for one (in fairness not a problem with the product) it took 2 weeks to be delivered 2 WEEKS! Then it came with small blotches of colour on it, not a happy customer I was. It works as a sponge but you are better off getting a normal sponge from a drug store and avoid the wait and strange marks :S

More hauls due soon, I have had the vet out and the ponies moved to a new field so I didn't have enough time to make it all the same post. I was dissapointed with the delivery from ...............................
