Any one have any tips on how to keep a leopard spot Appy clean in his stable! He is in over night to keep an eye on his weight, but is now so happy in there he lays down and has poo and wee stains the size of Australia on him! He is on shavings as he will eat straw! Some suggested a summer sheet, but has anyone tried this? Does it help or can anyone suggest something else! He only had a bath 3 weeks ago and looks like he is neglected! :D He is groomed every day!
 
Rambo Fly sheets work quite well. You need something that is a bit water repellant. Otherwise you'll have to take the rug off off and wash it every day. (Learned that one with lycra suits and a similarly inclined piebald boy!).

I use a lightweight turnout rug in the winter but I think he'll sweat too much in the heat so fly rugs are ideal. Plus they cover pretty much everything!
