Most western saddles do not come with a rear girth, but they have a ring for one. The saddle is designed to have a front and rear girth, but most have gotten lazy and only use a front girth. Saddles are going to slip on round horses - period - no matter how much you cinch the girth up. So you need to either use a mounting block, have someone hold the off side stirrup when you mount, or get a saddle stabilizer thingie like I had my biothane lady make. I straps to the saddle (on the off side) goes under the armpit and straps back on the saddle. Then when you mount, the saddle is secured by the horse's armpit. Takes some training, but with the clicker, I had my horses standing nicely for it in about 15-20 minutes of clickering. Of course, my horses are already clicker savvy.

Was it a very stabilizing force against saddle slippage when mounting the horse. I have 3/make that 4 sausages with legs, no wither, at least none that anyone around me can find and I really would like something that can hold the saddle when the horse is sweating. Anytime I ride from mid June to late Sept. it is very humid and hot and unless I stay on my horse for breaks during the ride, I have to tighten up my girth a lot and I hate to do that to the horse any more than I already have. My hubby has the same problem when he is riding and I know he would appreciate a more stable girthing system.

If you scew through there supra girth, it gives you pics or instructions on how to attach it to the saddle.

It is also the type a girth that Liz Graves recommends. That type is also called a packer's cinch.

[IceHorses] Supra Cinchs/Girths
I have been looking at the Crestrigde Supragirth and am interested if anyone out there has tried this one. I wouldn''t work for all my saddles but I was primarily interested in use on my treed saddles. Check it out at there site and see what I mean. It is an X-shaped girth and it says it is for the prevention of saddle sliding for the mutton withered horse. Price is not outrageous, but even 65.00 is too much if people out there know the product and if it lives up to its claims. I notice when I take long trail rides the horse gets so sweaty underneath that when I get back on I have to tighten the girth and I feel like it is too much too tight to keep them comfortable. I want something that can stablize the saddle and not squeeze there guts out.
