girth problems

[katenate]

i noticed today that the girth is chafing (rubbing) her, i lifted and pulled her leg forward when i saddles her up so its not catching and sudocream on where it has grazed her.

if anyone can give me advice it would be great

is the saddle too far forward?
is the girth clean and was she clean where the girth goes.

We got a sheep fleece girth sleeve and it worked :D
Try making sure there's no dirt around the girth area & the girth strap is clean. :)

Use a girth sleeve (sheepskin not synthetic - Cottage Craft do a good value one) or try a Kieffer neoprene grith...blimmin' fantastic girths even on the most rub prone TB's.
