   Awww that's so cute! I had one of those – her name was Tang (like the orange juice) funny huh? Mom said that's what I picked out as a name…it was very little. Broke my heart in two when I was older and she died.

   Mo (and his brother Sloan, who we also have) were dropped off at the vet clinic Doodle's mom works at when they were 3 days old. Doodle says Mo's real name is “Manny”, but she doesn't like that so she calls him “Mo-Mo”, which has been shortened to just “Mo”.

   Say I was wondering about your question – do these have to be things I do not already have? Just wondering because I have work really hard at acquiring the things of that nature that I do need – so I basically everything I think I want as far as horse clothing goes…but there are a few things I don't have that I'd like and I think would be terrible useful.

   No, it can be things you have and want to replace.

   1) Anti-Sweat Sheet – I have a wool cooler they are used differently. An Anti-Sweat sheet will help keep them from working up a sweet on warm days while tied or in their stall or on slightly cooler days just after you've ridden so break out in a sweat afterward and catch a chill – where as a wool cooler as you may know is best to use after they have already sweated and you need to cool them down.

   Those are the net looking sheets, right? I think I've seen the “Irish Anti-sweat sheet in catalogs, but not in person.

   2) A show cooler with a nylon lining – one that you throw on your horse to keep them super clean before like halter or showman ship classes – I have always thought one of these – body and neck/hood covering would be so handy for futurities. Often we are waiting for long periods of time after classes have ended before “your futurity” is up at the far end of the arena where it is dusty it would be so handy to cover your horse up, instead of let them get all dusty and do the rush groom thing just before you walk in the gate.

   What size and color? Would a full body sleezy work the same for you? A fitted fleece cooler?

   3) A sheet hood – to go on the sheet that I have for him – for those nights when it is not cold enough for the winter blanket and hood – but you'd like something more to put on them than and sheet and sleazy.

   I haven't seen a sheet hood, just sleezy hoods or full winter hoods.

   The single most handy piece of horse clothing I think I own is my sleezy. Saving me hours and hours of work by keeping his bands in and looking nice and free of sawdust.

   Wish Casey would tolerate one! It might just keep the pee off his face!

   Oh yeah – I had one but think its destroyed – I had a giant thick turn-out blanket I bought from State Line Tack one year before they were merged I mean it had like 600 grams of filling to it and was a 1200 denier shell. It was like throwing a pillow on my horse. Had two belly straps that you crossed, two elastic hind leg straps, and it was an open front – which I didn't like but its a small inconvenience.

   I have a Rambo all-purpose saddle pad like that. I love that it's so poofy!

   Did I help at all – or did i completely miss your point? I feel like I miss the point….

   Nope! You didn't miss my point. I haven't revealed my point yet. Mwuhahahahahaha!
