FAQ
How big is the sponge once expanded?
It measures approximately 23cm x 11cm x 4.5cm once soaked in water, which is a comfortable block size for washing down a horse or pony.
Why is the sponge flat when it arrives?
It is supplied vacuum sealed and compressed to save space. It returns to its full size as soon as it is soaked in water.
Can I use it on pets as well as horses?
Yes. It is suitable for washing dogs and other pets, as well as horses and ponies, and for wiping down tack.
Should I use the same sponge for the face and the body?
Most riders keep separate sponges for the body, the face and dock, and for tack cleaning. Because these sponges store flat, it is easy to keep several in your grooming kit.
How do I care for the sponge?
Rinse it thoroughly in clean water after each use to remove shampoo, sweat and grit, then leave it to dry naturally away from direct heat.
