Eurk. Let me rephrase that :)))

I only meant spray the Show Sheen in the *small localised
area* on the loin. This is what I did last year with the
other horse and it was fine. Certainly *not* the *whole*
saddle area... oh no... bad idea!  :))

My question was more, "will I harm the DM by spraying
with ShowSheen?"

good foam in there, but it's 6 years old now and I know
isn't as good as new (comparing it to a new Skito we
just bought - the inserts are definitely tired....)

I doubt it in this case (although I agree in principle).
He's not as fit as he was in 1999 when I did three 50s in
6 weeks with the same saddle. He's getting there, but not
quite yet.

That said, the saddle is rigged differently  (center fire
style, for more stability) to how it was on him in 1999,
which makes it much snugger on the horse's back, so that
too might account for part of the problem.
