Re: Fitting Aussie saddles

There is a double billet, but the Syd Hills are wider than standard English
billets. The rear billet (overgirth - the one that goes over the top of the
saddle) also ends in a ring on the on side. The girth has a strap that goes
up through the ring and back to the girth buckle (giving additional leverage
to the overgirth).

>I'm looking for a used Syd Hill, but am wondering if you fit them just like
any other saddle. I have more experance fitting english saddles, but can't
even find one to look at in the Portland,OR area. Also are there two billets
like an engish saddle or just one, I'd like to be able to use an english
girth.Thank you for any help, I recieve.
