		<description>You could leaver her without a rug as with horses it&#039;s better for them to be a little cold rather than a little hot. But if you want to rug her use a breathable summer rug of thin ripstop material.</description>

		<description>Ha ha!  Where I live it is freezing and I have forgotten already what hot is!!!! 

I would not put any rugs or blankets on your horse if it is hot.  Just plenty of fly spray and a fly mask.</description>

		<description>All of my horses (an assortment of paints, QH&#039;s, Appys and TB&#039;s) are blanketed at night for now and rug-free during the day. I live in the Carolina&#039;s, so it is still pretty nice in the day here. It depends on your geographical location and climate based on that. Horses can face the cold better than they can face over heating, so I would say do not blanket your horse when you are having to ask.</description>

		<description>I put on either a cotton or mesh rug when it&#039;s hot. 
It keeps the UV rays and bugs off the horse while still not making them overheat.

Mine are very sensitive skinned TB&#039;s though. Some horse are better off without.</description>

		<description>None of my horses wear rugs ever!!! but it depends on the horse if he needs a rug if it is hot where you are then your horse probably dose not need one but if she is skinny or really old then she shouldn&#039;t need one!!

Good Luck!!</description>

		<description>Right now we blanket at night and take them off during the day as it still gets pretty warm. So if it is warm during the day I would remove their blankets.</description>

		<description>All horse with turn out need two turnout rugs. One drying. one on.
One light weight stable rug
One heavy weight stable rug (if clipped out)
One cooler.
If clipped an exercise sheet is a good idea, get a florescent one perhaps. 
Cooler doubles up as travel rug.</description>

		<description>I agree with the first answer sometimes shampoo residue will make the carpet flat.  My grandfather installed carpet for many years and said do not use too much shampoo.  In fact one professional carpet cleaner in my town uses dry cleaning method for carpet that uses no shampoo.</description>

		<description>If you have a shop vac, one that does wet and dry vacuuming then you can draw up any extra water and the soap bubbles with it.

P.S. You deserve lots of credit for trying to clean up the mess.</description>

		<description>You need to use more water to get it out.  The only way is with alot of water.  Best if you have a carpet cleaning machine.  Otherwise it will be a long job.</description>

		<description>I have always used the liquid extraction method or what is commonly known as &quot;steam cleaning&quot;. And a product called Spot Shot or something like that. It lifts out stains but is a spray on remover. Here is a spring cleaning guide that might be useful: http://www.istorez.com/shop/spring-cleaning-specials</description>

		<description>It could be that the spots are deeper  than you think.  If it got dirtier when you used the cleaning machine, it is possible that whatever is there is being drawn up as the carpet cleaner goes across it.  I have used &quot;Spot Shot&quot; spray on carpet cleaner and it has worked great for surface stains.  It would be worth a &quot;Shot&quot;.  Otherwise you can try using Oxy Clean with hot water in your carpet cleaner.</description>

		<description>Glade do a powder you just sprinkle it on the carpet leave it for 30 minutes and vacuum no more nasty smell, talc works in the same way.
Baking soda works as well but will work out expensive.
Plug in air fresheners are great, as is scented candles unlit. also pot pouri.
A piece of bark with your favorite essential oils poured on it will last for ages.</description>

		<description>Natures Miracle, a pet odor remover, does wonders, and it works even for stains and spots that are not pet related. We used to use it for our whole carpet, putting the cleaner into the carpet cleaner. Also, there are some carpet foams that you can spray onto the carpet, let dry, and vacuum up.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m in Texas and was an Apartment manager for over 10 years.  We would replace carpets as needed, but would charge tenants back a prorated amount  as appropriate.  The carpet we put in was supposed to last 5 years so if it was new when the tenant moved in and they lived there for a year and it needed to be replaced, we would charge them 4/5 of the cost.  If this is due to Mold, that is 100% their responsibility and you have every right to fight that.

I would check with your local tenant&#039;s council to find further informtion on how to dispute effectively.</description>

		<description>Were they aware of the past mold issues?  That is a health hazard.  Why was there substantial water damage?  Your fault?  If from your carelessness that created water damage, it would be your responsibility and should have renter&#039;s insurance.  If they had faulty plumbing, etc.. which created the water damage, it goes back to their problem.

You can check with a local lawyer.
Or bring up on a website &quot;landlord-tenant relations in (your state capitol&#039;s city &amp; state)&quot;</description>

		<description>I replace the carpet after every tenant, but most of my residents are long term renters.  Unfortunately, in CA there isn&#039;t a law requiring me to do so, it is just the right thing TO do.  In your case, we would have had an expert determine whether the carpet was damaged enough by the water to be replaced at the time the water leaked on it.  I really would contest the charge for replacement of the carpets, particularly if the original water damage was not your fault, regardless of the condition.  In our city, we can only deduct for damages CAUSED by the renter that do not qualify as normal wear and tear.

But, to do that you will have to wait until the landlord deducts the costs from your security deposit.  Send a certified letter (keep a copy) along with the details and dates of what occured, actions taken, receipts, and photos.  Then you will have to pay the court fees (refundable if you win) to take them to small claims court to recoup that amount they deducted.  Be certain to take very good photos, lift the carpet in an obscure place to show the mold underneath.  Try to get statements from the carpet cleaners, maintenance people any one who was present during the initial water damaging incident to present in court.</description>
