>I have had the opposite experience. I
had problems with mohair, switched to fleese which was better, and changed to
neoprene when it bacame available. I have had no problem with girth
sores since (except for a professionals choice that had a foam rubber lining
).
Neoprene seems to be an all-or-nothing
thing. Many horses get by just fine with it, but those who don't will
scald, period, sometimes even with very minimal riding and a reasonably loose
girth. (I have one of those scalders--and he does just fine in
fleece.)
Thanks Ed and Heidi for the input , sounds like
the Toklat fleece girth is the way to go for me with this mare . As I know
that a tight cinch is not the problem .
