[RC] Sore in the girth area - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Sheila Larsen Sheila_Larsen@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== My mare has some of the same problems as yours. Wonder sometimes if it is a "mare" thing. Although it hasn't solved the problem completely this is what I did. First was chiropractic/accupunture. She is worse when her rib(s) are out of alignment. I use a Wintec elastic girth, but am going to try a Trevera(poly string girth). The mohair girth gave her galls. Fleece girth cover was too thick and gave her galls. I never ride her without using Body Glide in that area. I regularly stretch her legs and that seems to help soreness. Also pinching and rolling the skin and massaging the area seems to help. Last but not least does the saddle fit? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
