Lincoln Dogbone Shaped Sponge - Yellow

Lincoln Dogbone Shaped Sponge – Yellow

Yellow is the one you can still see once the wash bucket has gone brown. That sounds trivial until you have fished about in a bucket of grey water looking for a dark sponge with one hand while a horse leans on you with the other.

Beyond the colour it is the same waisted bone shape as the rest: pinched in the middle so a wet hand can grip it, and small enough to be useful for tack cleaning as well as for washing a horse down.

Performance & Benefits

• Bright yellow, easy to spot in a bucket or on a wet floor.
• Waisted bone shape for grip when wet and soapy.
• Small enough for tack work as well as bathing.
• Takes up and releases water quickly.
• One of three colours in the range, which makes colour-coding a kit straightforward.

Suitable For

• Bathing horses and ponies.
• Cleaning tack — applying saddle soap and wiping leather down.
• General yard use, where being able to see the sponge matters.
• Anyone building a colour-coded grooming kit.
• Keep a sponge used on leather away from the horse; saddle soap residue is not something to sponge onto skin.

How to Use

• For bathing: wet through, work up a lather on the sponge, and rinse it out often.
• For tack: use it damp rather than wet, and work the soap into the leather in small circles.
• Never use the same sponge for tack and for the horse.
• Squeeze out thoroughly and air dry after every use.
• Rinse any saddle soap out completely before the sponge goes back in the box.
