the real reason not to bleach your saddle pads

"Do not use bleach." That's what the tag on my white Dover saddle pad says, but it was disgusting and a regular wash cycle even with a scoop of OxiClean just was not cutting it.

So I added a capful of bleach. I thought, "it's just a white saddle pad, what could it hurt?" I rinsed the pad thoroughly in hot water and put it through two wash cycles, just to be safe.

Yup, I bleached my horse.

  1. Wow. On the bright side, she's bleached in an area you can't see if you were showing!

  3. I never once in a million years would have thought it was still potent enough to bleach her back after two hot water rinses AND two cycles through the wash. I guess I was thoroughly wrong :( I need to get some baby pads to put under the light coloured pads in the future. I don't care if the baby pads get stained.
