GP models are fitted with three girth straps. The point (front) strap and second strap are stitched, the third strap is moveable. This changeable girthing arrangement allows saddle stability to be optimised instantly.
Begin by girthing in the neutral position using the second and third billet. (NOTE: This is the same as girthing on the first and third billets on a saddle with a conventional girthing system)
If you find the saddle slips forward, you can use straps 1 and 3
If the back of the saddle lifts away from the horse’s back, move the third strap onto the floating balance position and use straps 2 and 4
For increased stability you can use straps 1 and 4
NEVER girth using positions 1 & 2. This causes saddle instability and potential discomfort for your horse.
