I rinse my equipedic with the hose after every ride and get
all the sweat out of the wool and foam. Then I hang it to dry with the wool
side up so it dries completely between rides. I have two pads that I alternate
so they have 4-6 days between rides.
This also allows me to put a dry pad on my horse halfway
through a ride at the midpoint vet check.
My pads still look really good and are two years old. I only
actually take them apart and wash them in the machine once or twice a year…hosing
seems to do the trick.
My training partner uses a Dixie
midnight under her equipedic and it still looks new after two years. I couldn’t
do that because my horse got hives from the Dixie Midnight.
