New horse is clipped, kind of a blanket clip... ish... well he came with it anyway
The problem is that he is rubbing through, he has bare patches from his rug (we got him a new one thinking the old one was a bad fit, this one is great but it still happens) but also bare patches from his reins on his neck and on his chest from his martingale! These have only appeared in the last two weeks but are getting steadily worse!
First off we wanted to show this summer and I am worried it will not grow through properly but secondly I am concerned that he will rub through to skin and end up really sore
So do any of you have any fantastic ideas that will cure this? He won't wear a hood sadly although I haven't tried a bib yet, maybe that is worth a go?
Can you get fleece sleeves for martingales? What about reins - or would that be too silly?
