A horse in Bend, Oregon decided my apron was a great place to wipe his nose

I was trimming a big draft cross last Tuesday when he swung his head around and rubbed his whole wet muzzle across my leather apron. It left a huge, slimy mess right on the chest piece. I had to stop, wipe it down with a clean rag and some water from my bucket, and let it dry in the sun for ten minutes before I could keep working. It threw my whole rhythm off for that foot. Anyone have a good, quick way to clean gear when a horse decides to help?

My barn keeps a spray bottle of vinegar water for quick cleanups like that.

Just be careful with that vinegar water around any metal fittings, it can speed up rust.
