Girth Galls

[mspirit@webtv.net (Lori Chandler)]

Hi again - 

I was wondering what causes girth galls.  My mare had slight swellings
at the points of the D rings on both sides.  I use a Toklat fleece girth
that does extend past the D rings & keep very clean.  Didn't think I
cinched too tight, but did loosen & re-tighten at each vc & water stop
but if this is a cause maybe I did.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
