How do you stop a horse from bloating when you tighten the cinch?
My horse bloats like crazy when I'm tacking him up! Then I can't get the cinch or girth tight enough and the saddle is loose. It drives me freaking crazy. How can I get him to sweeten up about cinching up?
The immediate fix is to cinch him up, walk him around for maybe 15-20 seconds, and then tighten it again. After walking, he will not be holding his breath.
In terms of not minding cinching so much, cinch up gradually. Make it barely snug at first, walk around or do something else for a little bit, and tighten it up a little. Repeat until it's where you want it. Cinching up sharply causes pain and a claustrophobic reaction out of a horse, and it can even send a greener horse into shock if you do it quickly enough. Naturally, horses don't enjoy any of that. So gradual and kind cinching will lead to a less girth shy horse.
