[RC] newbie- girth question - JonniI really do like leather girths and cinches. But, the cheap ones are often not of the same quality as the better ones. Really check quality. They are more breathable that neoprene, but you can still hose them off. BUT, you really need to give them a good conditioning once and awhile, like any leather article. I have had a horse in the past that got the allergic reactions to neoprene, and the leather was the answer. Does not gather burrs, debris and such if you have to ride off trail like some other girths do. I also had one get pinched by mohair, as he had lots of wrinkles behind the elbows. The current horse is doing well in neoprene. There is no one perfect girth for all horses. Many of us have a selection of styles and types when we have multiple horses.
