Fleece did the same thing to 2 of mine. I
use string mohair girths and solved the problem. Not my favorite girth to use
but the cowboys have been using them for many miles of ranch work, so
they must of had girth galls too. I found montana cincha has nice hand tied
girths in colors, different hairs and with d-rings.
I need some help with girth galls on the little
mare I have been riding while my gelding is laid up. He has never had a
problem with the girth, but she gets rubs behind her "elbow".
I use a Toklat woolback (fleece)
western girth with an Abetta saddle. There is no rough part on the
fleece, but it rubs her anyway. Is there another girth I can try that might
prevent this? Someone mentioned it might be her hair there causing the rub -
anyone had success with clipping to prevent girth galls? Maybe I should try a
shorter girth that only has the wide part on the bottom of her belly and not
up the sides? Or something that is tapered where it meets the
saddle?
