NEW: If your saddle pads (or blankets) require extensive de-hairing, I will be charging $1/minute that it take me to remove the hair. Dirt is okay, hair is not okay for the washing machines. Please de-hair your saddle pads prior to drop off!
NOTE ABOUT WATERPROOFING: ** NikWax Wash-In waterproofing seems to only work well on new blankets in good condition. The results are highly dependent on quality of fibers etc and really only brings most blankets to water repellency, not waterproof. It’s a good option for horses with stalls/runs who don’t need a truly waterproof blanket. Our spray waterproofing is more expensive but my experiments at home have proven that it brings most blankets to waterproof level (blankets with frays/holes still will allow water in). It is a good option for those that truly want their blankets to be guaranteed waterproof. Both products are color and fabric safe for all blankets. **
$10 credit toward future Horse Hamper services when you surrender a blanket! I also offer fly/sheet/blanket disposal for no charge, please clearly label. I will piece for parts and dispose of the un-usable portion. I will also be happy to accept blanket bags from your new purchases, rather than them going to the landfill. Both can be left at the drop boxes. Let’s keep what we can out of the land fill!
*** Reminder that repairs require full wash as a part of my process unless you have expressly gotten my permission to mend without a wash, per individual request.
