[RC] Girth sensitivity/soreness - sherman

Don, 

Did you just attach the Polar strap to the girth or did you modify the girth
somehow first? I ask because my equine Polar HRM just quit on me yesterday,
the 3rd time in 3 years. I'm ready to switch to something different now.

Kathy

I have 4 of these girths. I have used them for 8-9 years on 3 different
horses with 3 different saddles with no girth sensitivity/soreness. Each
buckle (all 4) is on its own elastic strap. None of the buckles shows any
hint of rust and they have never caused a pressure sore spot. You can get a
good snug fit that still lets the horse move and flex and my saddles have
never slipped, 2 OF Patriots and a modified Franklin roping saddle. I wash
the cinch often with a hose and use no additives. 2 of the cinches have been
modified for a heart monitor strap and have been used on my enduro horse for
8-9 years with no soreness.

Good Luck cause it always helps to have a little.
