Ridecamp: Re: [RC] sport saddle--converting to girth

Hi Karla, maybe you're talking about the CenterFire Rigging that 
SporTack (and maybe others) sell? What you do is put a biothane strap 
where your 
girth strap is and one coming from the back ring. You then have two 
straps on each side. You can then use the mohair english girth with it - 
if you don't buy their girth make sure that whatever english girth you 
buy has buckles wide enough (1" I think or maybe 1.5") for the biothane 
straps - most standard english girths don't have buckles quite that wide.

Tina - who has rigged her SS about every which way you can imagine
