Re: [RC] Woolback Girth Rubbing - Don HustonHello Sheri,Just guessing here but if you are hooking a breastcollar to the cinch make sure it is not going to the side and rubbing the horse. Also I would soak the cinch in plain water before using it to make sure it is nice a pliable. Sometimes on an older cinch the inside webbing can be very stiff when dry and bite into a horse with tender skin. I have used this type of cinch http://www.profchoice.com/htmldocs/prd/english/prd/dg.html for 10 years on 3 horses and never had any rubbing. All 4 buckles are on individual elastic straps and the pad is neoprene against the horse.

I have always used a Toklat woolback girth and have never had any problems. This new guy must have thin skin or something because even though the girth doesn't sit in that area (standing it sits 4-6 inches from his front leg), he still got a pretty good size raw spot so the fuzzy part of the woolback girth must irritate or rub him. I washed it again but it wasn't that dirty. It's only on the left side. I need to keep him going but don't want him raw every time I ride him and of course it gets bigger with more work. I would like a girth with an elastic end. Any suggestions would be helpful.
