Yep, my favorite grooming tool is my Electrogroom! I don't wash much in the winter except for manes, tails and legs, and find the vacuum is a good substitute for washing. I also use the blower just as Kathy described to blast the water off long coats it's great. The vacuum is about the only thing that will get the dirt off here in the winter when humidity is so low that the static electricity created by brushing just sucks the dirt right back on to the horse. A real time saver - especially when having to groom two bodies for a drive. :-) Merrie In sunny, dry, warm, Ridgecrest CA ----- Original Message ----- From: "kathy robertson" <goodhors@xxxxxxxxx> >....An additional suggestion would be to have your horse vacuum handy for after washing. I have been using mine as a blower, on the horses recently. The water is just BLASTED off in clouds of moisture from the animals. Really shortens drying time,.... > _________________________________________________________ To Unsubscribe, change to Digest or Vacation mode go to: http://www.drivingpairs.com/dpmem.html `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
