Many, including myself get this every
Spring with the change in hair coats. Got it with Skito, got it with Equipedic.
Freaked me out the first time I saw it. Called my friends and they put me
at ease. I don't think you have to worry about it. In fact, I have it currently
with my gelding. Doesn't look great but always goes away when the winter coat
finishes shedding. Then it looks normal. No white hairs afterward.
Okay, coming out of lurking again. Got a weird question about my
skito pads which I love and seems to do my horses back well for the most
part. However,
my horse is losing some hair from some rubbing quite abit away from the
back of the saddle..maybe 4 inches? I have a synergist saddle, did the
equimeasure, they refitted it to my horse and it fits beautifully, no rocking,
she moves out very well, shoulders free, but...the pad itself is rubbing
(seems to be up and down hills) this area several inches behind the saddle
area.
I'm thinking it may have to do with her comformation...She is a well put
together horse, well balanced, great feet, good muscling, but she has that
slightly higher rear end and she doesn't have a long back.
any thoughts? ideas on this? The pad otherwise left a perfect sweat
pattern, no dry spots, clean and dry over the spine and she moves like she
doesn't even have a saddle/rider on her so she's not hindered in anyway, and
is extremely strong and fresh after a training ride...trying to figure this
out.
