Thanks.

I wish I had known about the listerine before I bought the MTG. 
Spraying Listerine on the legs sounds much easier.  I'm only at the barn 
three days a week now and my instructor has a boatload of horses in 
training so I want easy things for her to do with Pete.  She keeps 
building small barns and they fill immediately.  But there's only so 
many hours in the day so that has to stop soon.
