Cleaning weaknesses of Spanish ponies?

[WinterBlossom]

Hiya,

I just got my first Spain pony, and Tootsie needs a good scrub - I was wondering if there is anything I should look out for - paints that come off easily, weaker hair, sunfading etc?

Any advice (or comfort that she is as sturdy as her oriental cousins) would be much appreciated!

Looks like I'm on my way to a Tootsie army, I just love this gal!

Thanks,

WB

I'm rubbish with pony cleaning thing, but I just wanted to say you're a girl after my own heart! Tootsie is very underrated!

I would consider trying some antibacterial soap first and only use your hands to rub the soap in. i have no idea what something like oxyclean would do to a nirvana pony.

Thanks guys, I'll keep you posted when I get round to cleaning her up, and she'll end up in my very first brag post I've no doubt! 

I meant to sort her out this weekend, but time got away from me!

I just threw a Spanish Hopscotch in a bowl of precept (for sterilising baby gear) and the only thing that happened was she smells better.
