Re: [RC] Girthing vs Cinching - Beverley H. Kane, MDSharon - Thanks for the reply. Jody also mentioned the elastic ends (duh! that's why the girths for my old saddle worked so well) and directed me to Running Bear Tack http://www.runningbear.com/ It looks like they sell girths, inc my Montana Cincha (that has roller buckles), customized w/ their own elastic. Maybe I can send them my girth to elasticize. Beverley ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sharon Levasseur" <sharon1359@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "'Beverley H.

I tried that but the knot was under my leg. Do you have elastic ends on your girth? Does it have "roller buckles"? Both of those features make English girths SOOO much easier. -Sharon L. -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Beverley H. Kane, MD Sent: Saturday, April 08, 2006 12:26 PM To: Ridecamp; Treeless Subject: [RC] Girthing vs Cinching I decided I really dislike English girths due to the post-office function holes--you have to be in one hole or the other, nothing in between. This has especially been an issue w/ my new Barefoot Cheyenne + Equipedic + mohair dressage girth. My arms and hands don't seem to be strong enough (or more likely, get leverage enough from my short height) to get to that next hole up which is, at any rate, always a bit too tight. I'm thinking I'd like to convert to a Western style cinch. Thoughts? Thanks.
