[RC] re: special buckles for torsion girth - Teresa Van Hove

The Aussie girths won't work on a Torsion Saddle. I bought the 1 1/4" girth buckles but the pin that goes into the billets on the buckle is too big. I have found a place that has other 1 1/4" in buckles and they are in transit. I don't know if they will have the same problem. The Torsion also needs a standard sized dressage girth and the Aussies are slightly longer and won't fit.
yech. Well I'd be more inclined to get a saddle maker or tack shop to sew on standard billets than to get a special girth made, and I guarantee I'd just take a leather punch to those billet holes and have Teddy or Nancy use standard aussie 1/1/4 " buckles if I couldn't find a person or place to replace the billets.

Cheers,
Teresa
