RE: [RC] Girth galls, etc. - heidi larsonwe haven't tried the mohair (yet) but when our little old man with a sway back gains weight, his dressage girth gets under his elbows (we do pull legs forward) and will still rub a bit, last time I put a little Cowboy Magic under that particular spot and didn't have a problem. That was a one-horse/one-time experiment however, will have to do further testing! heidi and Asil Kontiki --- Ranelle Rubin <raneller@xxxxxxx> wrote: Mike, I have had issues with this, and have gone to a Mohair Girth with soft leather guards behind the buckles. I got mine from Action Rider Tack. If you have a catalog, it is on pg. 8, if not, it is by Montana Cincha and comes in English and Western Styles, but the western one does not have the leather behind the ring. I also used Gaul Save..I can get the brand for you, but it is sticky, messy, and green and comes in a can.

I'm riding with a Bob Marshall saddle and a Professional's Choice SMX neoprene girth. Same stuff as always, and most of the time I've had only minor girth rubs. The new thing we did this time was use a heart rate monitor. I always use Body Glide in the girth area to help alleviate chaffing. Can anyone suggest girths that might be friendlier to protecting against girth rubs over long distances (if such a thing exists)? Does anyone have a favorite girth they use with Polar's heart rate monitor pickups that slide beneath the girth, or a favorite mounting technique for these pickups that minimizes rubs? Thank you, Mike
