Re: [RC] Girth Rubs - Don HustonHello Drin,I have one horse that I was causing galling behind his elbows. I switched to the tube type neoprene cinch and it cleared up and never came back. That was 15 years ago. He is 25yo now and still fun to ride. Western type = http://tinyurl.com/ygar8y9 English type = http://tinyurl.com/yke8w5o Don Huston At 03:31 PM 10/12/2009 Monday, you wrote: Have any of you ever shaved behind the elbow of your horse to prevent rubbing or pulling on the hair? My mare has lots of folds behind her elbows and recently we are getting some galling where my girth is either rubbing or my mohair girth is pulling her hair out. I switched to a fleece girth but I never had a problem with any rubbing all summer but the last two rides I have had major problems . I was wondering about shaving behind her elbows as maybe it is her winter hair coming in that is the problem ? My saddle is not moving back to front to cause it ?I have tried stretching her legs forward after cinching , I have used show sheen and baby powder with no luck . I do not ride with a tight cinch at all. I would like to go to Moab and ride more than one day , Any idea's ? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
