RE: [RC] galls in front of the girth on a young horse - Jannelle Wilde & Adam Falk
I have had a similar issue and someone
suggested that it was because the girth was to tight and did not allow the skin
to move and stretch past it. it is only an issue for me if my horses have
had a long brake from riding and I go on a long ride (30 mi or more) If I
ride regularly ( 2-3 times week) then the skin gets toughened up

the girth on a young horse
I have a young horse just started. He keeps getting
galls on his stomach just behind his front leg, in front of the girth. I
am on my third girth. I stretch out his legs after saddling, before
riding. Any ideas? I really hate to see this happen.
