I have a 24" pony cinch and I need to buy a girth. How many inches is a 24" cinch in an english girth??

It will really depend on the length of the billet straps on the saddle....

Your starter rule of thumb is add 20". Beyond that, as CGU said, what is REALLY will be depends on the billet strap length.

I would guess somewhere around 42-44" but like JB and CGU said, it depends on the saddle.

See if this coincides with the 42-44 ideas...
Measure or visualize the distance from the saddle billets (not last hole) to the ponys fetlock. That may be the length or range you need.
If that guestimate works, please say so, its a new?ish theory and feedback is important/ appreciated.
