Girths and backs

I have a neoprene girth that I can use on my one horse (TB) with no problems,
but not on the other (Arab). In fact, the Arab is incredibly hard to find a girth
for. I finally got a wool felt one for him that doesn't cause too many problems.

About ticklish backs - My TB passes every vet check with A's for her back.
Yet when I use accupressure points to relieve tension in her back, I get an
unbelievibly strong reaction. The ripples moving across her back are very
vivid. Why would this be? I've had a chiro out, changed saddles and tried
accupuncture. She still vets through perfectly and reacts strongly to the
accupressure. Is she "ticklish"? She moves very well; strongly, correctly
and in balance, so a "sore" back isn't hindering her motion. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kris
