About this artist
Cherie Zamazing
Once upon a time there was a little girl who spent much of her time lost in a daydream, drawing pictures and writing stories…
Years later, I'm pleased to say that little has changed, I feel very lucky to have fulfilled my dream of becoming an illustrator!
I graduated from Loughborough University in 2005, completing a degree in Illustration. After leaving university I started freelancing within the greetings card industry, designing for all kinds of giftware products. Three years later I felt I needed to return to my main passion, which has always been story telling. So in 2008 I joined Bright, where I felt I could really grow as an illustrator; still working with my greetings work, but also branching out into children's book illustration, which I love!
I like to work in a variety of styles, which I think keeps my work fresh, helping me to develop my range and adapt my work to suit a variety of age groups; which presents me with a wide spectrum of commissions, every one a new and exciting challenge!
I've recently started to create my own stories and have thoroughly enjoyed illustrating them, giving my imagination a real work out.

Hi looks like I am the second person to post here
Some time ago I seem to remember reading in the child protection policy document (draft) that children under the age of 14 should not practice with adults on the mat. This had been the practice in clubs I have trained at in the past. However, I can find no reference to this in the current document. Although I run an over 18 class only at the moment I would like to give young adults the chance to train and I do not have the time to run a separate childrens class. Please could you clarify the exact position here is it all over 18 or all under 18 with no overlap, or is there some other policy. Any help greatfully appreciated |

Hi - I think the confusion here is probably caused by the crossover between coaching 'best practice' and safeguarding standards.
There is nothing in the current Safeguarding policy which 'prohibits' adults and children training together. But of course a duty of care and appropriate risk assessments must be done.
Section 5.1.1 says that access to aikido for under18s should be appropriate to their age, physcial development and ability.
I would suggest that it might not be appropriate to have a slightly built 7 year old training with a 6 foot well built 35 year old!
In my own club we do run separate classes for adults and children - but I fully understand that this may not be practical for all clubs.
So, use your coaching knowledge to ensure that appropriate groups train together from within the main body of the class. Conduct (and write down) a risk assessment - construct appropriate lesson plans which will address any safeguarding issues which your risk assessment may highlight. Remember that the Policy Good Practice section states that children should not be subjected to pain compliance or against the joint techniques.
And of course anyone with (regular) direct supervisory contact with children must have a BAB CRB check. (If you need more info on this then post again and I will reply).
Hope this info is helful

Hi Sue,
Many thanks for the prompt reply. I was seeking clarification as I would like to be able to teach teenagers (14 upwards or thereabouts) within what is currently only an 18 plus class. I understand there are a number of actions I need to complete in order to do this in addition to the lesson plans and risks assessments, namely: Attend a coaching young people course. Obtain CRB clearance through BAB (although I already hold one through my work as a youth leader). Establish a CPO for my club Greatful if you could let me know if I have missed anything. The only other issue I currently have is that the CPO position for my organisation is currently vacant - does this have an affect on the situation? Sorry to ask so many question, but I would like to expand my club membership and I feel that young people are the future of aikido. Any help appreciated. Regards |

Absolutely no problem to ask questions! I am just so pleased that you are taking this time and 'trouble' to ensure that under 18s are properly catered for in your club. Hi again 1. As far as I am aware there is no mandatory BAB requirement for you to attend the coaching young people workshop. That's not to say it wouldn't be a great benefit though! I'd also recommend the sport coach UK Safeguarding and Protecting Children workshop. This is widely available and often subsidised by local councils etc. It is also recongised across all sports - so it could go with you into other coaching or related activities.
2. Yep - you will need a BAB CRB check done. I do understand it's a pain to have to have multiple checks but unfortunately there is no facility for us to offer portability of other checks into the BAB setting. There are lots of reasons for this - but I won't bore you with them here!
3. Strictly speaking, the club will have a CWO (rather than CPO). The Club Welfare Officer should ideally be someone independent (i.e. preferably not a coach) - and clearly someone who is child friendly and ideally - if possible - with some relevant background. In due course the BAB will be looking to offer induction training for all CWOs - but this is in the planning stages at the moment. Thw CSWO will also need a CRB check as part of their recruitment process. We are currently working on a standard BAB recruitment pack - but this might take a while (there is soooo much to do and not enough time!). You will also need to ensure that your CWO is familiar with the BAB CP Policy and all the related procedures. If poss try and get them on the scUK course too. If you need any templates for recruitment paperwork let me know and I can email these to you.
4. What is your Assn? I know of one that is midway between CPOs - but it would be helpful to confirm this with me. You can email me direct (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you have any info or questions you would rather not post here. But it is very useful I think to let others have sight of these questions as I am sure many people are perhaps thinking of them just like you! .... Each Assn should have a CPO - but as an interim measure you or your CWO could raise queries or concerns direct with me or Barbara Barrett our new Independent Safeguarding Officer.
You can find lots of other info and guidance in the CP Policy on things like late collection, changing, coaching:student ratios etc. Also check out the CPSU (child protection in sport unit) web site. they have loads of good info too (google the name and you'll find them easily).
One other thing that might be helpful .. consider how you will ensure that children leave your class safely and with the appropriate person. We have found in our club that it can be a nightmare with 20 + kids rushing off the mat at the same time. So think about how you will ensure they are going off with a parent or carer - or have they been given permission to walk home alone (and how can you record this). We found that often kids can just race out of the dojo -- so now we always post a responsible person at the door to ensure no child leaves alone without us knowing that this is OK. We can then also check who is meeting them - and that that person has the authority to take the child away. I realise though that with 14 year olds they will maybe leave on their own or with friends - but again you should check with the parents that this is OK (in my club they sign a form to agree to this).
Please don't hesitate to get back to me if you think of any other queries. And all the best with your classes!

An interesting discussion!
One of the points of training in a Martial Art such as Aikido is to learn to defend yourself - particularly if you are training in a traditional or "street" manner (or combination).
Surely one of the major advantages of Aikido is that a slightly built 7 year old can potentially defend themselves against a well built 35 year old?
I understand the issues, problems and practicality of training adults with children, but surely we would be doing the children a disservice if we did not give them the opportunity to train with adults?
Ok practically you will not expect a child to perform a Koshinage on someone of my size (17(ish!)stone) but to learn the principles of moving off line etc, there is no reason to limit who trains with who is there? After all I have been thrown around by men, women and children who are much smaller than me.
"Best practice" - I wonder how self defence training "best practice" and coaching "best practice" can resolve this issue?
Bear in mind that a number of times I have been flored by my 6 year old son with a accidental, unseen groin shot!
I love to fly!

Hi Jamieg Thanks for the comments - and you raise some interesting points. Perhaps one could argue that a child could be tori only when training with an adult. But even so, I have heard of instances where an adult was 'thrown' by a child - but unfortunately the adult was so focused on his young partner he failed to see that he was about to land on another youngster (stepping onto this child's arm and breaking it). The subsequent court case found the adult liable and the damages were around �6000 (according to the person who told me this). My personal feeling is that there are enough 'unknowns' when adults train together. But adults can make their own decisions and their own risk assessments. Children by definition cannot. So it's not just about size and age - it's about our duty of care.
Again - my personal opinion is that children simply cannot practice 'true' aikido as pain compliance and againt the joint locks are not allowed under the current safeguarding policy. So if we accept that they cannot practice in the same way as adults my view is that their sessions should be tailored to suit what they can do. Certainly with younger children my view is that the session should be planned specifically for them. They have different learning curves - different physical abilities etc. Children are not in my view 'mini adults'.
And of course none of the above addresses the uncomfortable issue of allowing adults with bad intentions towards children to have direct, close physical contact with them. We do not and cannot run the same risk assessment checks on those who simply train on the mat (i.e. who are not instructors). We all like to think that the nature of aikido offers some built in risk assessment 'positives' as regards becoming an instructor (e.g. the many years it takes to achieve a grade where one could instruct). But what about the new student. You know nothing about him or her. They step onto the mat for the first time - maybe just a free session - and immediately they could have 1:1 direct access to children. They could start to form relationships perhaps quite easily.
All in all I think it would be much much harder for an instructor to devise a safe and effective integrated adult/junior session than it would be to run separate classes (albeit on the same mat if necessary).
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. And I would also be happy to a view from our ISO if that would help.

Hi Sue. Yes I see your point - clearly there are some inbuilt dangers to Aikido. I absolutely agree that no-one under 18 should be subjected to pain compliance techniques, and similarly it is very difficult for a child to execute Nikkyo etc on an adult.
Within our club there are some specific and some incidental checks and balances to ensure the safety of children training. We do tend to allow children to train with adults, however no-one trains with the same person time after time, they all move on to a new partner every time they get up to practice.
In addition, all our senior grades keep an eye on the children training, our CPO and Sensei discuss any potential issues before, during and after classes, and we do often ensure the children train slightly aside from the main group.
Yes we need to protect our children - having two boys of my own, I know that they can over reach their own abilities and therefore any club with children in should have an instructor who is experienced in working with children.
However, if I take my boys to train in a martial art and they get injured through an accident, I will not sue the person/s involved in that accident unless it was malicious (we have all been on the receiving end of over enthusiastic techniques), and I think this is where a major problem lies, why do people always feel the need to blame other people? In the example you give it appears that it was an accident plain and simple - if that is the case why on earth would anyone be entitled to compensation?
Part of what we are discussing us the protection of our children from sexual and other predators and I would do whatever it takes to ensure this.
The other part seems to be about wrapping them up in cotton wool, and I suggest we should consider what they are actually doing (studying a Martial Art)? That doesn't mean I advocate causing pain/ injury but I do suggest that there should be some understanding of what they are actually aiming to do when training!
I love to fly!

Hi - I am no legal expert - so can't really say why a claim was pursued and was successful. But often insurance is there to cover things that simply are accidents(anything done with malicious intent cannot by definition be accidental?). I accept that circumstances may be different for children (i.e, no loss was suffered or incurred). However presumably the 'pain and suffering' aspect was invoked just as for an adult. I guess in a court of law (civil as well as criminal) the excuse of " sorry I didn't mean to do it - it was an accident" is not an acceptable defence!
I agree that today's society can seem geared towards a blame and compensation culture. But that's what we are part of and it's up to us to ensure we protect ourselves and others against the potentially unpleasant outcome if such claims are made. Having said that we must always remember that the welfare of children is paramount - so if some restrictions or guidelines seem 'excessive' - but they do ensure the best possible safeguarding provision - then I would have to voice my support for them.
As a parent presumably you are quite entitled to allow your children to partake in activities that might have more element of risk. You might be very happy for your children to climb trees - or race around - or play fight --- and these activities might result in injuries, knocks, bumps that you and your child are quite happy about. But there is a huge difference between what you personally 'sanction' outside of the dojo for your child - and what we as instructors should sanction on behalf of other parents (and children of course!) inside the dojo.
It's a really interesting topic for discussion and maybe we might get some other views posted. I can ensure that this thread is highlighted for our ISO to take to the Safeguarding workshop on the 6th Sept.
all best

Yes you are right - we do have to work within the society we live in.
I would not want to see my children hurt, and to be honest am probably a bit over protective, but I do think people need to consider what they are taking part in.
As you say I think we need more opinions and discussions, I hope that Sensei Mclean from Coventry will contribute to this discussion, since I have huge respect for the way he teaches his childrens classes, and regularly take my boys to train with him.
I'd be interested to hear other peoples thoughts as well!

Hi Jamie, Sue, Awase
Some really important and interesting points raised where I feel there isn't 'one' magic answer to all our questions and concerns. I must admit I do see two separate areas for concern. Both include children's safety and welfare. Main issue is from the predatory adult looking to start an "inappropriate" relationship with a minor. The other is safe Aikido training. I do have some juniors on the mat with my adult class. I allow this from the age of 11 (Secondary school age where SD is now a serious and very really issue) IF they have shown the mental maturity and physical ability. However I never allow any pain compliance techniques to be applied to them either by an adult or another junior. I do allow though them to learn these techniques as I feel they are integral to Aikido. They are also a vital aspect of a practical Self Defense System. They apply them to an (appropriate) adult student in the class. My daughter from the age of 10 could not physically practice at her level on the junior class. She had to consistently hold back her techniques which was detrimental to her development. While an adult also practicing at full power was also not possible my senior students were able to to train with her at a level good for her. A lot of the children come to my classes for self defence, most attackers will be bigger and stronger so I personally feel they need to have the opportunity to train with ukes who are bigger and stronger. This allows for the chance to apply their techniques with greater power and to find what works for them and what doesn't. I now teach a range and techniques for use against larger opponents actually taught to me by my daughter (she's still only 15!!) that she has developed and adapted to suit her against these ukes. This would not have been possible if she had stayed in a junior only class. It is ultimately down to the instructor whether they allow juniors on to an over 18 mat. With proper safeguards, vigilance, and awareness this can work well. My thoughts anyway. Hope to see you soon J. Class as usual Sat :-) Regards Andy ps Hope your shirt was ok Sue!! I had to gues the size :-) |
Aikido is constantly changing and evolving - so must we!!!!

Invisible sound in new places
BeoVox 1 is a discreet, in-wall, passive speaker – ideal for extending a Master Link system to new parts of your house or grounds. You can finally bring your Bang & Olufsen sound to singing in the shower cabin, grilling on the roof terrace or wherever your imagination takes you. Because the speaker has no built-in power amplifiers, it is perfect for bringing music to less favourable environments for electronics, such as bathroom and outdoor installations. Just make sure that your speakers are protected from direct water impact, such as shower jets or rainfall.
BeoLink Passive is the amplification and control unit for BeoVox 1. It comes with a discreet infrared eye for remote control of the sound with your Beo4 or the built-in buttons. With the advent of BeoLink Wireless 1, installation is simple and flexible, as you may not even need to run new cables from room to room.
BeoVox 1 is designed to be an invisible source of sound, but if your guests should spot it anyway, the oval shape and understated Bang & Olufsen logo on the side ensure a sophisticated look. The elegant hole pattern of the speaker grille extends almost to the edge, and while primarily optimised for sound, still maintains a harmonious and elegant expression. A special rotary painting technique ensures that no paint gets inside the holes, because when the holes are kept dark, the outlines of the speaker units are less visible though the grille.
The durable surface finish comes in white to suit most purposes. The matt white blends in perfectly with white plastered ceilings in the manner of recessed spotlights. It also looks great mounted in bright yacht interiors – Rod Stewart not mandatory!
The acoustic design of BeoVox 1 draws on the experience Bang & Olufsen has gained in recent years working with car stereo. To produce a great sounding speaker with maximum placement flexibility, BeoVox 1 was conceived as a two-way speaker system, a superior design usually found only in square in-wall speakers. It features high quality 1-inch treble and 6.5-inch mid-range/bass units and electronics which are optimised for in-wall and in-ceiling use. The treble level can be adjusted using a small switch between the units to adapt the individual speaker to its placement, making sure that BeoVox 1 sounds great whether mounted high in a shop ceiling or close to the listening position in an outdoor kitchen arrangement. The grille is designed to exact acoustic specifications and a special painting technique assures that the performance is not compromised by paint residue obstructing the holes.

No. 1 on this week's list of stupid NBA basketball stuff: this guy.
First of all, cool story, bro. [Is 'cool story, bro' played out yet? I mean, it is on t-shirts and stuff. Nonetheless, it applies to this guy.]Second of all, nobody cares. [Wild guess: You, bro, are also a NY Jets fan.]
Third of all, the Heat won a championship recently. You might have heard about it through the Internets if you've been a fan of the team for long enough. So, why don't you go suck on that for a spell. Should provide plenty of nourishment.
Fourth of all, even though your sign does not specifically outline such, you did not pay all that money for tickets to "see Lebron play." Nope, you paid to see the Wizards of Washington play the Heat of Miami. Susan O'Malley is no longer around, so I'm pretty sure that LeBron wasn't featured on the ticket that got you into the arena.

Caribu Horse Rug Waterproof & Breathability Ratings.
The industry standard for measuring a fabric's water permeability (or it's waterproofing ) is to place a column of water on the fabric and increase the level of water on the fabric to find the point at which the water starts to penetrate the fabric. This column of water is then measured to give the fabric's waterproof rating in mm. e.g. 1500mm. (1.5 meters). For a material to be rated as waterproof it has to pass a minimum Hydrostatic Head test of 1500MM.
All Caribu Synthetic Rugs and Combos are rated to at least 3000MM - more than twice the minimum requirements. Our Synthetic Rugs have a breath ability rating of at least 3000gr/m2/per24hrs.
Synthetic Horse Rugs
No rug is ever 100% Waterproof, but ours come close! This is because rugs contain stitching, webbing & fastenings that can not always be tape seamed or heat sealed to prevent water penetration. Synthetic denier gets its waterproofing from the membrane that lines the underside of the fabric - not from the fabric itself. Waterproof synthetic rugs use a chemically treated membrane, under neath the denier, to prevent water passing through the fibres, while allowing air to pass in between the fibres. Synthetic rugs are the best rug for keeping your horse dry and out perform canvas rugs in this regard.
You will also find that water can wick in around the edges of any horse rug - usually only obvious along the lower skirts. Its quite normal for the bottom area of the skirts to get wet – you usually only see it from the gusset back, as the water runs down the outside of the rug, it pools on the bottom lip of the trim , where it can wick up the lower lining. Heavy rain, combined with strong winds will also blow water under the edges of a rug and force water into places that would normally be dry in lighter rain.
Breathable - What does it mean?
For any turnout rug to keep your horse comfortable on the inside, both the outer fabric and the lining should also be breathable - because even in cold conditions, your horse will perspire and if a garment does not have sufficient breathability, the moisture (from perspiration) and difference in outside/inside air temperature, will build up as condensation on the inside of the rug.
Keep in mind that regardless of the rugs breathability rating - in wet conditions, it will be reduced to almost zero as water covers the rug's fabric pores. This can cause condensation to accumulate on the inside of the rug. This extra moisture on the inside may also give the illusion that the garment is letting water in from the outside, when in reality it is your horses perspiration and condensation from the difference in outer air temperature. This is more common when using rain sheets, especially in open neck rain sheets, where water enters in around the neckline and then condenses from body warmth
Most Synthetic Turnout combos have a fill or lining of up to 300grams and this alleviates this problem, as it assist's the rug to breath and keeps the horses excess perspiration off the horse's coat. If you are using an unlined rain sheet in humid, extended wet or cold conditions – you may need to use in conjunction with a light cotton under rug or similar with a good moisture wicking properties. The horses perspiration and condensation needs to be transported away from their skin.
It's much like us wearing a raincoat against our bare skin - with your body heat and perspiration, you will soon be very clammy under your raincoat and any moisture that enters via a neckline etc – will condense under the raincoat. You will end up very damp in a short span of time. However if you wear a T-shirt you will help alleviate the problem.
Never underestimate how much condensation will accumulate under rug in a short span of time. A horse can perspire up to 1 litre per hour.
Ratings are expressed in the amount of moisture that will pass thru a fabric in a 24 hour period. Caribu Rugs are rated for breathability of a minimum of 3000gr/m2/per24hrs.
How can I check if my denier is still waterproof or breathable?
To check waterproofing is easy. The best way to check you rug is waterproof is to use a sink or large tub, lay the rug over the top and create a small indent with the denier - insure you choose an area of the rug with no fittings or seams. Then pour a glass or two of water into the indent and allow the water to pool. The denier should hold the water and not allow any seepage to the inside.
Your synthetic denier gets its waterproofing from the membrane that lines the underside of the fabric - not from the fabric itself. Once the membrane is damaged, you cant reseal like you can with canvas.
If you have an unlined rainsheet, you can see the underside of the denier thru the can-can lining. If you hold the rug up to the sun and look up from the underside – you will see the thousands of little pins holes of light – these are the waterproof pores in the fabric that give the rug its breathability. The waterproof membrane insures the holes are smaller than a water molecule – so water cant enter the rug. To cut costs - many cheaper denier fabrics are not breathable.
Denier Fabrics can be made breathable via using ultra tough hi-tech fabrics which are then coated with a micro-porous formula making the fabric completely waterproof and breathable. This means that the outer fabric will protect your horse from the rain and elements while still allowing sweat or condensation produced by your horse's heat to escape through.
To insure you get a long life from your waterproof denier, take a few precautions.
- Before storing your rug away, insure it is dry and at room temperature. Don't take directly from a warm sunny clothes line and seal away, as this can be detrimental to the waterproofing membrane. Allow the rug to cool down and air at room temperature for a few hours before packing away. The polymer membrane lining, which gives the rug its waterproofing, is similar to a rubber compound. It has an inherent moisture content which varies with environmental conditions like humidity etc. Waterproofing eventually fails in a rug when the lining ages and the polymer dries out and becomes brittle. Storing the rug away for long, extended periods, can accelerate the breakdown of the membrane. The rug needs to be aired from time to time to allow it to 'breath' & insure the polymer lining doesn't dry out excessively. Rugs that get used infrequently are usually the ones that have the shortest membrane life, because they either dry out or grow mould. The best option for storage is a rug rack where the rug will breath, rather than sealing away in a plastic bag.
- Never spray a high pressure hose at your horse rug - you will damage the small pores allowing water to enter immediately.
- UV will eventually effect the lining over a long period of time. When rugs are not being used, avoid leaving them out on rails in direct sun for days or weeks at a time.
- Never use a harsh bristled brush to scrub the outer denier, you can spike the membrane
- Never wash your waterproof rugs in a hot wash - cold water wash only.
- Never use additives like Tea Tree Oil or Eucalyptus oil etc on your rugs or in the wash - they can effect the membrane lining
- Never put a rug away damp or sweaty for long periods of time. Mould and mildew will eat away at the membrane over time.
- Some horses perspiration can be more acidic than others, depending on diet & this will shorten the membranes life.
Canvas Horse Rugs
Not all canvas is created equally and just because a rug its called canvas - don't always expect it to be waterproof. The fabric construction and waterproofing process can vary greatly.
Canvas can range from a 100% cotton blend, which is cool and breathable, to 100% Polyester which is very strong but also can be hot. You will see a huge range of Canvas rugs that fall between the two extremes and their performance will vary significantly. The type of weave and machine the fabric is manufactured on also plays a huge part in the success of the rugs ability to perform well.
Canvas comes in different thickness or weight, often from 11oz up to 22oz. Obviously the heavier the canvas - the longer the potential waterproofing.
With Canvas, its important to understand how canvas has been waterproofed. Their are three different processes used to waterproof canvas.
1) Wax Coated (90% of imported Canvas)
2) Immersion Treated (Caribu Canvas)
3) Immersion Forced (Dyna Proofed)
Immersion Forced. The good old fashioned Canvas, that some of us remember from days of old, is treated via an Immersion forced process. In simple terms, the fabric is submerged in a waterproofing agent and the agent is forced deep into the fabric. This is the best process for treating canvas, as if the canvas is scraped or torn, water wont wick through the fabric. It is also very expensive in today's market.
Immersion Treated. Similar to Immersion forced canvas. The fabric is submerged in a waterproofing agent. Both sides of the canvas is treated and it relies on the absorption of agent into the fabric. This process is much better than wax coating as it takes much longer to degrade.
Wax Coated waterproofing process is where the fabric is simply sprayed with a light wax coating. These rugs are at best, only light shower proof, and it's how most of the canvas rugs from overseas have been treated. We see many marketing wax sprayed rugs as 100% waterproof - you will be disappointed. The wax coating begins degrading extremely quickly when exposed to the elements.
Our canvas is proofed via an immersion treatment. (not wax coated) and delivers improved performance compared to the wax coated canvas which is flooding the market. We quote our canvas rugs as being Showerproof. They will outperform wax coated canvas and provide good protection. In our mind to call a rug waterproof, it has to be able to withstand extended or heavy wet weather and still keep your horses dry. (something our synthetic rugs and combos do very well) We are yet to find a Canvas rug that could be classed as 100% Waterproof. Any Canvas slowly absorbs the water over time, getting heavier, until it breaches the underside of the canvas. We see many retailers advertising their wax coated rugs as 100% waterproof - which is misleading. Likewise a heavier canvas rug will provide better longer tem waterproofing: ie: a 20oz canvas will outperform a 16oz canvas.
No Canvas rug is 100% waterproof. While the fabric may provide good waterproofing, water will initially enter via stitching lines, along seams, necklines and around fittings. Canvas rugs use are sewn using a specially developed cotton covered nylon thread. This is designed to swell when wet, to completely fill the stitch holes.
A high wool blend lining (not just felt) creates a membrane between the canvas and horses coat to extend water penetration. Canvas will absorb moisture from exposure to rain and from condensation condensation under the rug. If you use canvas in wet conditions, you will need to remove canvas regularly and allow to dry out completely.
Lined or Unlined Canvas? Unlined canvas rugs are great for warmer days and cooler nights, but horses in unlined canvas rugs often have high moisture transfer during very heavy rain or extended hours of rain, due to difference in the horses body heat and the cool canvas. Wool lined Canvas helps reduce this problem and creates a buffer. Like touching the inside of a tent when its raining, the tent will start to leak at the point you touched it.. A similar process happens where the rug makes contact with the horse, creating moisture transfer onto your horse. Amount of transfer depends on many factors like air temperature, humidity and body heat. The positive side of an unlined canvas is that they dry out very quickly when the rain stops often just from the horses body heat.
Canvas is ideal in many situations, it provides superior strength to synthetic rugs, is very breathable and is ideal for short bursts of wet weather protection.
We suggest for best performance that you apply a waterproofing treatment to your rug after the first 12mths to increase its life.
To insure the long life and durability of your canvas rug - please follow these instructions:
Prior to using we suggest you thoroughly wet the canvas with a light hose and let the rug dry fully in the sun. This is necessary to allow the fabric to settle and stitching to swell. If you fail to do this you may find your rug absorbs excessive water in the initial exposure to rain. Store away only when completely dry - this will avoid disappointment when you next get your rug out again and find it very moldy! Do not use a high pressure nozzle to wet your rug as the high pressure could compromise the waterproofing.
Never scrub the canvas - to remove dirt use a damp cloth or try brushing the fabric with a soft brush when any dirt has dried. Do not use soaps, detergents or other liquid cleaners.
- Remove any mildew as it appears, and allow the rug plenty of sun exposure afterwards.
- No Canvas rug is 100% waterproof - the waterproofing process is designed to repel showers & light rain & wont stand up to heavy or prolonged weather, as water will slowly seep thru the fabric. The thickness and tight weave helps to slow the seeping process. With exposure to heavy or prolonged periods of rain - you will need to remove canvas regularly and allow to dry out completely.
- Our Canvas is 100% Cotton - please insure before storing your rug away it is 100% dry - as any moisture in the fabric will cause mildew and deteriorate the canvas during storage.
The waterproofing agent used on canvas breaks down with exposure and you may need to apply a waterproof coating every 6-12 months to insure the waterproofness of the canvas. Much depends on the weave and fabric composition.
What is the difference Between 1200 Denier and 600 Denier?
At Caribu we only produce 1200Denier Rugs. 1200 Denier uses double the thread weave over a 600D fabric.
1200D offers far superior strength and durability and will far outlast a 600D rug. Their is very little difference in Breathability, Insulation, Waterproofing or weight - what you do get is the added strength & life.
Many manufactured have reverted to 600D fabrics because they are cheaper to produce.
How much rug filling is enough for warmth?
Understanding how a poly-fill lining works can go a long way to insuring your horses comfort this winter. The lining works much like your roofing insulation - it traps heat in the air pockets in the poly fill lining and slows down the radiant heat out of the rug and away from the horse.
We use 300grams of polyfill in our "Alpine' range of rugs. 300gr is ideal for Australian Winters in all but the far north.
We have done lots of testing with different grades of polyfill and the insulation effects. Some manufactures offer their rugs in a 100 to 200gram version. This is more for marketing than actual benefit. The rug generates its warmth by capturing the air pockets in the poly fill lining. If you have less than 250grams grams of Poly fill, it will have a limited insulation effect as their just isn't enough body in the filling to trap air and create an insulation layer.
Its' not until you get upwards of 250grams+ that you get enough body in the poly fill to start make a real difference.
If you pulled open a rug with 100-200grasm of poly fill, you would be very surprised how thin the filling is spread.Keep in mind that polyfill packs down over time , if you start off with too small amount of fill to begin with - after a few months you will be holding your rug in your hands and be contemplating what happened!
A 300gram rug should last you many seasons and be ideal in most situations during winter.

But hard work is not why I have been successful as a model. I'm not saying I'm lazy. But the most important part of my job is to show up with a 23-inch waist, looking young, feminine and white. This shouldn't really shock anyone. Models are chosen solely based on looks. But what was shocking to me is that when I spoke, the way I look catapulted what I had to say on to the front page.
Even if I did give a good talk, is what I have to say more important and interesting than what Colin Powell said? (He spoke at the same event and his talk has about a quarter of the view count.)
Like many young people I believe I have potential to make a positive impact in the world. But if I speak from a platform that relies on how I look, I worry that I will not have made room for anyone else to come after me. I will have reinforced that beauty and race and privilege get you a news story. The schoolteacher without adequate support, the domestic worker without rights, they won't be up there with me.
So what do I do? I am being handed press when good press for important issues is hard to come by. These outlets are the same outlets that spent two years not reporting a new drone base in Saudi Arabia while press in the UK covered it.
They are the same organizations that have forgotten New Orleans and forgotten to follow up on contractors who aren't fulfilling their responsibilities there -- important not only for the people of NOLA, but also for setting a precedent for the victims of Sandy, and of the many storms to come whose frequency and severity will rise as our climate changes.
Should I tell stories like these instead of my own? I don't feel like I have the authority or experience to do so.
How can we change this cycle? The rise of the Internet and the camera phone have started to change what stories are accessible. And we now have the ability to build more participatory media structures. The Internet often comes up with good answers to difficult questions. So I ask: How can we build media platforms accessible to a diversity of content creators?
On a personal note, what should I talk about? Do I refuse these offers outright because of my lack of experience, because I'm not the right person to tell the stories that are missing from the media? Can I figure out a way to leverage my access to bring new voices into the conversation? Right now I'm cautiously accepting a few requests and figuring out what it all means.
I'm listening, tweet me @cameroncrussell

Dear Friend of NCLR,
I'm tired of asking this. And I think you probably are too. When it comes to our lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth, just how bad do things have to get before they change? It's tough being a teenager anywhere, but being a student in Minnesota's Anoka-Hennepin School District is especially hard. Why? Because there's actually a "gag policy" that prevents school staff from talking about LGBT issues. The bottom line is that this gag policy has created an environment where LGBT kids are relentlessly and cruelly bullied. Even after seven teenagers in the district, including at least four who were known or perceived to be LGBT, took their own lives, school-district administrators and elected officials refuse to help. NCLR has filed a lawsuit against the school district demanding that it immediately repeal the gag policy, and to take action to address the bullying and harassment that LGBT students are regularly facing. The lawsuit is underway, and now it's time to take action. Will you support the students of the Anoka-Hennepin School District by signing our open letter letting them know that you have their backs? We'll hand deliver the letter with your signature to the students we're representing in our case against the school district. Signing the letter is just the first step. After you sign, we'll give you a chance to help us get the letter (with your name) printed as a full-page ad in the Minnesota Star Tribune. Thanks for standing up for Anoka-Hennepin's young people—especially when the elected leaders who are supposed to protect them only turn their backs. Sign onto the letter now, and then please share it with your family and friends on Facebook and Twitter. In solidarity, Kate Kendell, Esq. Executive DirectorNational Center for Lesbian Rights

"I love this pad. I don't use it as a mousepad, I use it as a get-sh!t-done to do list."
ame on 4/16/2013 9:21:45 AM
"I recently purchased this product (in store) after I used up my Thomas Paul mousepad. Sadly, this mousepad is a huge disappointment. It doesn't work at all - I spent the first few days slamming my mouse around trying to get it to work. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone."
Andrea on 11/2/2012 12:20:54 PM
"I have the 5 Days A Week for my desk at work. I've had no problems using it as both a mouse pad and a note pad. I highly recommend and will probably buy two more so I can have a spare for work and one at the house!"
Liz on 5/30/2012 3:50:14 PM
"Was very excited about this product, and very let down when it literally doesnt work as a mouse pad, what-so-ever! It works as a desk top agenda, but as far as it's claim to "earn its desk space" I would say it absolutely does not do that."
Jenalee Nordstrom on 4/17/2012 8:26:21 AM
"Not made for optical mouse with red light. Jumps around. description should read so."
