Subject: [RC] Horse Vacuums
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?
Charles
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.

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.
