Re: [RC] what's the best way to attach the spong to a dressage saddle? - rides2far@xxxxxxxxwhat do you use for a leash for your sponge? and also, i noticed at the last ride i volunteered at, that some people used some kind of a mesh to hold their spong in place on a saddle. where do you get the mesh (is it like a woman's hair net?) and what's the benefit of using it? Do you intend to sponge on the fly or just take it out everyonce in awhile? Are you in a hurry, or just trying to finish in the time limit? I think all that affects your set up. I hang mine on the ring on the side of the breast collar when I do hang it up. I used to put a velcro off an old leg wrap around the middle of the sponge where the string is tied (only one I found strong enough to hold it) instead of a snap because I didn't like scraping the snap down the horse's neck. I prefer a light cotton cord, no bag, just a sponge and a string. You can hang the sponge on the breastcollar and still have the string to your wrist. That way you don't waste a lot of time getting it out to sponge. I sponge more at mudholes on the fly so that when I stop at water he can drink without me throwing the sponge the whole time.
