Re: [RC] re:girth - indiancp

i have the dressage length billets on my english type endurance saddle but use a girth long enough for the buckles to be on the sweat flaps of the saddle.  i've never liked the buckle to be on the horse.
my girths are 42 to 48"  seems to work just fine.  my saddle came with one of those teeny little girths, too.

Personally, I would use longer girths.  The billets if very long can cut into the skin at the pits.  Wendy has had that trouble with Scab, but that is another problem relating to training issues and cruppers.
