Gus is a fun guy. Or not.

As the heat has increased, I have noticed how humid our tack room stays. And how the still air never circulates.


I was worried about my saddles. It never occurred to me to be worried about my riding gloves!

what exactly is this reaction to my riding gloves?

So, one day, I noticed a reaction on one of my hands.  After riding the next day, it was worse!

Cat Scan! ;)

Suddenly, the trend set in. I ride in my gloves, I get a rash/reaction/thing. So, I decided to try riding without my gloves.


Oops. I should have known better.

Duh!  Riding with gloves all the time = no protective calluses...

I finally dug up an old pair of crochet-back gloves.  I am spraying Tinactin Powder Spray in my leather gloves.  I am also treating my hand with Tinactin twice a day.  It seems to be helping.

less angry-looking

I’ll avoid riding in my leather gloves until it quits being so hot and humid.

Gus, feel free to depart my presence and do not return to haunt me!
