Dear Peggy;
I think that galls often occur because the cinch is placed too close to 
the elbow and everytime the horse's leg goes back it hits it.  If your 
cinch has a rough or hard edge, or is wide there, chafing occurs. 
Getting a cinch that is narrower through this area or softer, or both 
can solve this problem.
I get a lot of calls for my mohair cinches which are thicker in the 
center and then narrow toward the buckle ends.
