I love my horses. I got three; this one, a tan one, and a mixed horse-badger one.
They all make good lather. Takes a little while to load, but not as long as my expensive fluffy pure badger do. I do have softish water though, that might help.
One trouble is that they sometimes like to knot up. But nothing the occasional bit of conditioner and some TLC can’t prevent or in worst case fix.

I never actually had mine knot up. I’m still not sure what my problem was. I followed lots of people’s advice on how to use them but I just could not get it to work for me. YMMV as they say. I’m glad they work for you, I do like the idea of them.
