Just wanted to know if anyone else has had a problem with a neoprene girth or even just neoprene!!
My daughter's little Section A had a new girth on Friday which was a short neoprene dressage girth. On Saturday she could barely walk and had a huge swelling in between her legs as well as big puffy bits of skin in her armpits and in between her legs. The skin then went hard and stiff and pony couldn't bear to be touched and now the skin seems to be peeling off. She's been covered in Filtabac since it happened and had bute. Vet is coming later - we spoke yesterday but she did seem to be improving so we thought we'd see how we were today. She can't have a steroid jab as she's very laminitis prone. The bute definitely helped though and hopefully we are over the worst of it.
Has anyone else had anything like this?
