Girth hmmm too tight...to loose on a horse saddle?

How many fingers are you supposed to fit between the girth? I was told it was 2 fingers.. but my friend told me it was four… Hmmm wich one? 2 or 4?

Answer #1

2 fingers, but ride for a while then stop and recheck it, better to be safe then sorry.

Answer #2

I’v heard you need to check it UNDER the horse instead of on the side underneath where it buckles. And it should be 2-3 fingers.

Answer #3

I’d say two fingers…the simple fact is…tho a girth or cinch CAN BE so tight it harms a horse…most females don’t have the upper body strength to get it “too tight”…

Answer #4

my husband aid 2 or 3 fingers it depends on the horse because if its to tight it will become itchie and un comphortable for the horse

Answer #5
