Crossing the Road
It's so sad that so many horses hate the girth, it must be pretty common for then to have it too tight, be started improperly, or have issues at some point down the line. Most of the horses I've tacked up have been unhappy about the girth, and that's even though I've always done it up slowly, in stages, and never too tight.Goofy geldings is definitely a stereotype! They do love licking hands and playing with zippers. Silly guys!
Yeah, pain memory is, well, a pain. Horses with a history of ulcers in particular tend to be girthy, because it used to hurt and they’re still expecting it to.
