I have 4 of these girths. I have used them for 8-9 years on 3 different horses
with 3 different saddles with no girth sensitivity/soreness. Each
buckle (all 4) is on its own elastic strap. None of the buckles shows any hint
of rust and they have never caused a pressure sore spot. You can get a good
snug fit that still lets the horse move and flex and my saddles have never
slipped, 2 OF Patriots and a modified Franklin roping saddle. I wash the cinch
often with a hose and use no additives. 2 of the cinches have been modified for
a heart monitor strap and have been used on my enduro horse for 8-9 years with
no soreness. http://s169.photobucket.com/albums/u229/Fasterhorses/
Good Luck cause it always helps to have a little.
