I think that may be what I need. I was going to create my own little fleece cover (polar, not fluffy) until I could afford a sheepskin one. Now you've got me wondering if cutback would be better. Oye...this could get expensive!Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369244473889348601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858836779457163540.post-36929119673950036312008-09-12T07:54:00.000-07:002008-09-12T07:54:00.000-07:00I've had real good luck with contoured girths/cinc...I've had real good luck with contoured girths/cinches. We used to have an Arab who had such a small area where the girth rode it caused her LOADS of problems till we switched to a contoured girth. Before I found our latest, I even resorted to cutting away a felt one, which worked fine...looked funny...but, worked fine though. After cinching up we ALWAYS stretched the front legs way out forward and upward to ease any pinching at the elbow too.<BR/>I have always stayed away from neoprine as well...even the equine chiropractor had poor reports about the neoprine. They said when you are cinching up it holds on too well till they start sweating, with the skin twisting it pulls the saddle askew and makes the tree pinch (that's what they said...no personal experience here though)<BR/>Good luck...and I hope Joe found a good home!!!!Jeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957611498267858588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858836779457163540.post-23300116817260216322008-09-12T06:41:00.000-07:002008-09-12T06:41:00.000-07:00It's so much fun reading all of these riding posts...It's so much fun reading all of these riding posts.
