18 yro mare bites when you cinch her?

Everytime I go to tighten the cinch on my mare she turns and tries to bite me and when I wont let her she will grab whatever is closest to her(wether it be the trailer, the stirrup a board in her stall) and bites it as hard as she can while I am tightening the cinch. I just bought this mare a month ago and I am very easy when I cinch a horse as I have owned a very cinchy horse for the past 2 1/2 years. I dont feel anything under her belly on the girth line and I use a pretty expensive Professional Choice neoprene cinch. I always brush it of to be free of any hair or debris before saddleing. Also I notice she has a couple of missing patched of hair in the way of the girth, I am guessing from an old owner. So what could be causing this?

Something is going on to cause this. Is winter hair getting n the way and getting pulled? Keep your off hand between the cinch and the mare to avoid catching any of the long winter hair in the cinc. Did you change cinches and she is not accustomed to this one?: There is definitely a pain or irritation issue here.
