Sandy - First of all, what tells you that he is sore? How long have your
at-home conditioning rides been? Does Sharon give good, easy to follow
instructions for doing the bare tree fitting or is it possible that the
tree really doesn't fit? Could the way you ride have contributed? Is your
girth new or old? Did you have it loose or really tight? Does your horse
have a hard to fit shape back?
Just stuff to think about while you are waiting to talk with Sharon. Laney
