Girth sizing/placement question.
Posted: Sat Oct 20, 2018 3:07 pm
I had been using a Wintec girth with my Wintec Isabell, but since I like my Thinline saddle pad so much, I bought the contoured girth to try.
I bought the same size as my Wintec, 26. Well, this girth has a lot of leather and Thinline above where you buckle it. This girth comes right up to the edge of my saddle pad, I can almost tuck it under the pad. My Wintec sat a few inches below my pad.
I'm wondering if I should have bought the 24 due to the extra leather? As for holes, I take this up 3 holes on both sides.
Maybe I can have a shoemaker cut an inch or more off the ends and then it would fit below the pad and still have leather above the buckle area.
Is my girth too long/big? Can I make it work by having some of it cut off?
Thanks!
