If there is not an open sore, we use a spray-on product called
"NewSkin." It is carried by most large drugs stores but you might call
first.

Spray it on and let it dry, then do it again. Two or more layers of
the protective film will most likely get you through your lesson.

But don't stop there. What caused the girth sore in the first place?
Did you remember to pull both front legs forward after tightening the
girth? This pulls the folds of skin out from under the girth. Are you
using a girth cover? Was it clean and flat? Was the seam twisted
somewhere?

Hope this helps.
