[RC] girth position - Kris HazelbakerI have a question about girth position and saddle fit. It seems that most of my horses have had round barrels. So, the girth naturally fits/moves to the area right behind their front legs. That's okay. But it seems that many of the saddles I've tried have the girth attached further back on the saddle so if the girth is straight, the saddle is sitting over their withers. Or if the saddle is back where is belongs, the girth is angled, and the saddle tends to slide forward anyway. I've looked at the various kinds of western rigging - 3/4, 7/8, etc. And I've seen saddles with adjustable rigging. How adjustable are they? And is this even what I need to look at to "fix" my problem? Thanks much for all the insights I know I will get here!
