well. i got a dressage saddle, yada yada, got my saddle pad, etc Now I know the billets are supposed to be long, but for me they are almost too long, if I pulled them down across her bellie they would nearly touch each other, maybe an inch of clearance between them

i borrows my riding buddy's girth 22-24" I didnt measure and i managed to tuck some of the billet into a slip on it but it still looped out like P I'm pretty sure its because Poco is a pony and lets face it, most dressage saddles are made for larger horses, but is there something i can do? im going to the saddler on Sat to see if he could possibly shorten them for me by like 3-5 inches each... or would that be a rash decision, and I mean shorten the nylon parts not the actual leather piece, or would shortening the leather piece be a better idea?

Well, for resale...that might not be a good idea.

I will probably have the same problem, Tiffany is 14hh and I bet the straps will just about touch under her belly too.

I am looking for a specific girth to show you...hold on.

Here is one -



See how it has two sets of keepers on it? Is that how the one you were using was made?

[Kitari]

no, it was just the buckels one set of keepers and down about an inch or two there was something that i could slide them into, but I had too much billet left over for them to slide all the way in. otherwise like in the picture above it would go through the keepers then about maybe 3-5 inches would be hanging out and down.
