Hey everyone, My horse was always slightly girthy, but the saddle fits him. Last saturday when I was doing the girth up, he pinned his ears backwards he turned his head to try to bite me. And I thought to myself "this is a pain reaction". So, I talked to the vet and he said we should start...

Hay y'all! Alright, so I know you've heard probably a million times that a girthy horse "isn't my fault" but in this case, I know it is! Ive got a 13 year old Quarter horse, paint gelding who is just the most sweet, precious boy. He tolerates just about anything and spooks at nothing. However...
