[drivingpairs] calendar and collar pads

Hi all,
 
I used to post as koenenb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx but changed email addys so while 
draftmolly@xxxxxxxx is new, I'm not a new member.
 
I just received a mule calendar that is just so wonderful I wanted to 
share. I was so surprised when I opened it to January and saw a picture 
of my friend Irene riding her mule Jessie. I was even more surprised to 
see LOTS of multiples in the driving pics.  February to May all have 
pairs (or teams depending on the discipline)doing everything from 
pleasure to CDE's and Pulling contests.  August is a georgeous photo of nine 
mules, three abreast plowing.  September is a 16 mule hitch with a 
smaller photo of a four abreast down below.  The pics are georgeous, the mules 
are beautiful. 
 
I have no affiliation to the company but I highly recommend this 
calendar if you want a driving calendar with multiple hitches, or a mule 
calendar. They also advertise horse calendars for riding and driving but I 
haven't seen any of them in person.
I don't know if I can post their website addy here so if anyone is 
interested, email me privately and I'll forward it on.
 
I recently bought a good, second hand team harness.  It was used in pulling 
contests and is pared down to nothing extra while all stress points are heavily 
reinforced.  It should be perfect for logging and farming.  It just arrived and 
it sure makes me want to get out there and practice... now if the temperature 
would only get off the -40C mark!!  (That's -40F for those of you in the USA 
and I'm NOT fibbing!!!)  Not doing any driving at all until THAT changes.
 
Question re: pads.... I searched the archives and couldn't find any info on 
pads.  I have a 22" collar that will fit my molly but I'll have to pad it.  Can 
anyone suggest the best type of pads... wool, fleece, cotton???  I've seen many 
varieties in use but don't know what's best and don't want to burn her.

Cindy
