Girths for OF saddle

[mtnriderII@webtv.net (Mary Sutliff)]

I ride an OF Patriot and during warm weather the neoprene girth caused
my horse some discomfort.  He would develope little bumps under the
girth so I use a woolback girth I got from Sporttack and have had no
problems.  This girth has elastic on one end.  The OF dealer just said
to be aware that OF doesn't recommend elastic girths and to keep an eye
on how the horse responds.  We've had no probllems.  In our wet western
Washington winters I use the neoprene girth because it's easier to keep
clean.  I'm compulsive about clean girths and throw them all in the
washing machine after each ride!   Mary S.
