I need some help with girth galls on the little
mare I have been riding while my gelding is laid up. He has never had a problem
with the girth, but she gets rubs behind her "elbow".
I use a Toklat woolback (fleece)
western girth with an Abetta saddle. There is no rough part on the fleece,
but it rubs her anyway. Is there another girth I can try that might prevent
this? Someone mentioned it might be her hair there causing the rub - anyone had
success with clipping to prevent girth galls? Maybe I should try a shorter girth
that only has the wide part on the bottom of her belly and not up the sides? Or
something that is tapered where it meets the saddle?
