Sensitive Girth area, Girth rubbing, Girth galls? Is Your Horse sensitive when the girth is tightened up?
This can be just simply that your horse is very sensitive in his girth area and the cold girth can be a bit of a shock when first done up, causing him to become wary of the girth being tightened.
Girth sensitivity can also be caused by the girth pinching when being tightened, or it is possible that your girth is rubbing and creating a sore spot or 'girth gall' when the horse is moving.

Girth sores and galls are extremely painful for your horse and it is essential that you stop riding altogether until the area has completely healed.

Sheepskin/Lambskin girths offer a very good solution to all these problems. Sheepskin girths are warm at first touch and will eliminate sensitivity issues almost immediately. Likewise, a sheepskin girth will not pinch when tightened. It may take a couple of times before your horse is sure he will not be pinched, but once he realises that this is no longer a painful procedure, he will quickly forget his past experiences.
(Sheepskin is the common term, but actually the pelt is Lambskin; a by-product of the meat trade)

Genuine sheepskin girths provide ideal pressure distribution, eliminating friction and shear forces, thus providing maximum comfort for your horse.
Naturally the highest breath-ability/ventilation of any material used against a horses' skin. The fleece creates a natural air cushion, allowing air to flow between the fibres, which helps to balance temperature and reduce sweat in this area.
Sheepskin girths can also absorb up to three times their own weight in moisture. Sheepskin girths are highly shock absorbing and prevent rubbing and bruising, chafing, pressure sores and girth galls.
They are also light in weight and extremely hard-wearing.

Horse Dream UK girths, manufactured by Christ Lammfelle are the REAL DEAL - genuine 100% Merino lambskin. Check carefully when buying a 'sheepskin' girth as many girths are 'faux' meaning synthetic or 'wool' meaning not the entire hide. Wool girths are still ok, but will not last nearly as long or be as effective as a genuine sheepskin girth and can be prone to bobbling after a time. Faux girths are a made from synthetic material and do not offer any of the beneficial properties of sheepskin.
Faux and Wool are still advertised as sheepskin - so make sure you check the description carefully and ask, if you are not sure.
