[RC] Felt girth and sticky weeds - Tx TriggerAngie Fura wrote:>>>Hi - I just switched to a felt girth because my horse was getting rubbed by neoprene. <snip> Are there any tricks to keeping a felt girth clean?<<< Only way I found was to not ride in the tall weeds and grass <grin> . I used felt girths for years and years, but rode where we did not go through things that stuck to the girth. You can try using a wire dog brush, but it will slowly pull off the felt fibers. On the horse that I had who had Neoprene issues, I changed to a leather girth, and that worked well on him. But, one needs to take care of the leather to have it last. Good luck! Not all girth types work well on all horses, and finding the right type to work for your type of trails can be tricky! Right now we have those little sticktight seed things that stick to everything. Horses legs, my shoes, girths. I pick them off the horse at the trailhead, so I don't introduce them to my pasture.
