[RC] mohair girths cleaning - April


After years of using neoprene girths on my horse, I bought a mohair girth from Teddy at Hoosier Daddy since I had some girth galls on Sunday for the first time from the neoprene girth.

Did some research in the archives and found out to wash the girth in the washing machine on gentle in a pillow case with gentle detergent. Air dry flat.

That worked well (I used Eqyss Blanket Wash).

My questions. Do you wash the girth in the washing machine every single time you use it? Seems like such a pain after the very low maintenance neoprene. Also, does repeated washing shorten the lifespan? How do you wash the girth at vet checks?

Thanks,
April
