Finally couldn't resist! This sheath cleaning thread has finally took it's toll on me. Am I a horrible person indeed, to admit that my stallion is fortunate if I clean his, er, equipment, perhaps 2X a year, if he's lucky!...and BTW, he considers himself very lucky indeed, (I think), as he acts very pleasant throughout the "ordeal". Nary a leg cocked,or one mean look. I use lukewarm H20, ivory soap,(as per my vet's instr.) and rinse well w/ clean, warm H20. (Same for the mares.) Why do I feel this is OK? Well, do wild horses go get their sheaths tidied up? I live very close 'bye an area teeming w/ wild horses, and I've not noticed a sheath cleaning station yet. I do clean when a new mare is brought in for breeding. Maybe he's not the grungy type... anyway, can we talk about another subject? I thought Becky Vorpagel's thought about having NFHR "regions" was interesting, and would perhaps equalise & balance out the activities and educational endeavors. Can you imagine, Championships? Weelll...just a little firecracker to toss @ the collective feet of this list; anyone care to foIlow? -Have a Great Weekend!
