Expert Posts: 1631 Location: Somewhere around here	Some girth Itch just showed up on my horse Sunday and I've been putting Vetricin Gel on it once a day but I'm wondering if there's another product or tips you can give me. I've already disinfected my girth and switched to a mohair one for the mean time but I might ride him bareback for a while just do it heals faster.

Elite Veteran Posts: 1100 Location: Southeastern Idaho	As others have said clean all cinches and any brush that has touched that area. I have had great luck with a 10% bleach solution. 10% bleach to 90 % water in a spray bottle. I will ride then soak the area afterwords with this solution and rub it in. Then I give the cinch I used a quick spray. Do this 2 times a day to the affected area. Takes care of any cases I get in a jiffy.
