I've been informed by my better half (the one that
knows stuff about horses) that I really, really, really should think about a
horse vacuum when I think about Christmas presents.
So, does anyone have any advice (my advice in power
tools is the higher the volts the better for cordless drills etc). Have
you had one that doesn't work that well? Have you had one you consider
great? Have you compared it with anybody else's?
Also, (I'm sure that as horse owners you understand
"economy") do you have any favorite place to buy it or price
recommendation?

PS: We bought a portable hot water device and found
that it didn't do a good job with our really cold winter water, but then, it
might be the electricity doesn't give it enough juice to really
work.

Subject: [RC] re: winter
bathing/grooming
I must say I love a clean horse to lean on, but I have to agree winter
bathing does a job on those wooly coats. I used to be a fanatic about
bathing my horses, clipping, blanketing. I must have 10 grand worth of
blankets in my tack room. I become emotionally fit enough to let them go
au naturel the last two winters. My Manny is in heaven when rolling in
one of those really slushy mud bogs and it can be 0 degrees. I don't
think the cold bothers them as much as us. Oh I'm off the subject
here: Grooming
My boarding buddies and I bought one of those vacuums a couple of years
back. It was pretty cheap as I recall dividing the purchase amoung 4 or
five people. Anyway, what a great grooming device. Once you get
your horse used to the noise and suction (lots of carrots, please) it
takes 30 seconds and poof a clean horse and it doesn't harm their natural oils
and such.
