Re: RC: chafeless girth?

I use a Wintec english girth that is made out of something that looks like 
hard neoprene.  It has a waffley pattern on it, and it really lubricates the 
skin well, have never had a rub with it.  Also use a MOHAIR string 
girth--must be mohair not a synthetic.  I've had really good luck with both 
kinds.  My friend uses a neoprene girth and swears by it.  Whatever you use 
it has to be clean.  Some horses' skin is more sensitive to one material, 
some to another.  Try to borrow a couple different types, see if any work.  
Good thing about the Wintec, it's only about $30.  My mohair girth was also 
less than $30.  Good luck,  jeri
