A tip from Brenda in MI:

When I got a new electric toothbrush, I kept my old one to use for cleaning tack. Works great to get into the tight spots. I use it first with the saddle soap and then later, I rinse it off and use neatsfoot oil. Works great!

(Thanks Brenda - great tip!  Don't forget everyone to keep the great money-saving tips coming in!  There is still plenty of time to get entered to win a copy of "THE HEARTS OF HORSES" by Molly Gloss. All you need to do is email me your tip or a picture of your horse enjoying the winter weather. A winner will be drawn on Jan. 31st. thanks! ~bethkay)
