Girth leathers pinching poor pony - any suggestions?

[LizScott]

As title really

After I've ridden, (in dressage saddle) I've noticed a largish lump right where the back girth leather would be and can only assume it is pinching him

It is always gone again by the morning but obviously I don't want to pinch the poor thing!

It sounds like it could be too tight/too far back??

The only time my horse got pinched/girth galls was when I used a leather girth. She never got them in a cheap girth! Maybe put a sheepskin girth sleeve on it if you do want to keep using the leather one

try poping a piece of neoprene between the girth strap & pony
that should help n wont rub

ahh I think I get what you mean now, its the girth straps? the long ones?

I would get him some sheepskin to slide over them
