RC: RE: Help! Girth Sores

["Lisa LeChatton" <llechatton@hotmail.com>]

Do you stretch the girth area before mounting? Any girth will give you rubs 
if you don't. Tighten the girth until its almost where you want it, then 
take the horse's knee and lift it until parallel with the body. Finish the 
girth setting. This will pull out the extra skin under the girth so that 
when the horse is moving the skin doesn't grind under the girth.
