Re: [RC] Off billets... why not?? - Alice YovichI do this with my girth on my western saddle and people give me the weirdest looks. I explain about Dave and they still think I'm nuts b/c they've never heard anyone else say to do it that way. However, my mare has been a lot happier since I've been doing this.At 12:25 PM 1/28/04 -0700, Marlene Moss wrote: Anyhow, with regard to the rear cinch of the western saddle ? most people do not use them properly. The rigging on a western saddle was originally designed so that both the front and rear cinches would be of equal tightness (which is why a real solid ring attached to the tree is proper, not a slit cut into the skirt). Most people way over tighten the front cinch and leave the rear dangling.
