Re: [RC] girth galls - Heidi Smith

While on the topic--what IS the "proper place" for the girth rings/buckles
to sit?


Well, we ride exclusively English-type saddles (we've both had Stubbens in
years past, but are currently in Wintec's Pro Endurance) and the buckles are
clear up under the knee.  We use Woolback girths, and the fuzzy part meets
right up with the bottom of the saddle pad, so there is no buckle area to
chafe at all.  Nonetheless, one can get the occasional problem with the
horses with that excessive movement in the skin ahead of the girth.
