Re: [RC] Girthing vs Cinching//Running Bear Tack - Beverley H. Kane, MD
I ordinary ride with a snug-but-not-tight girth.
Then I had issues w/ my Barefoot Cheyenne slipping. Then I practiced some better
mounting techniques and haven't had a problem cinch...er ...since.
Teddy from Running Bear Tack responded that they
do not custom retrofit (with elastic) previously purchased girths.
In a I always used to tighten my girth or cinch as tight as I
could to keep the saddle from slipping I thought. I fought girth sores
constantly. I used $20 cinches and $100 cinches and nothing
worked. Then a junior started riding her last year and did cinch as
tight, and she never has gotten another sore. A one rat
study....mb
I'm not sure that being able to get a chincha or a girth tighter is an
advantage.
