I'm looking for a "recipe" we used years ago on our show Arabs as a neck sweat. Ingredients included glycerin and witch hazel, but I can't remember what else and proportions!! :arg! Saw some great ones I'll start using...since I have a cremello!!

Also, a note about using plastic buckets that previously held any kind of chemicals. The plastic will absorb them, and can then release residue into water/feed when re-used. Almost had my little man colic when hubby gave him an old sanitizer 5 gallon full of fresh water on one of our first 80 degree days!
