I recently bought a wintec wide saddle (absolute bargain:bounce:) but havent been able to ride as havent been well for 5 weeks:cry: Anyway being the dope that i am i am a little confused as to which girth strap combination i should use:unsure: Can anyone advise me please :help:
 
Not a great deal of help I'm afraid, but I think we were told the rear strap is a balance strap, not sure about the front one :redface:, but we were told to use the two middle ones as 'normal' by our saddler (very trusted, good rep) as the saddle on our horse doesn't move and is stable.
 
I was told by my saddler never to use the first ones up on the withers unless really bad slipping issues as they are quite severe and to only use the last 3 like a normal saddle. Hard to explain :sluggish: I used the last one and the second one as I had problems with the cantle slipping side to side.
