I had a saddle fitter out to see if the Patrick saddle I had previously purchased fit our new TB, and with some flocking, she said it’s a good fit - EXCEPT the billet is too far back so when putting on the girth in the correct position, it causes the saddle to slide forward towards his shoulders - the girth and billets don’t line up. So she said I could take it to a leather person and have them move one billet forward more, or the easier option is to buy and anatomical girth. I emailed her a few I found and she said they need to be more “wariness” - but everyone I’ve google seems to have the same amount? Any suggestions? I sent her this one and she said I was “halfway there”. https://www.smartpakequine.com/pt/m-toulouse-anatomic-shaped-padded-girth-4429
The Total Saddle Fit girths have the biggest amount of offset that I’m aware of.
Agreed. Total saddle fit or a version like the Nunn Finet Piaf from which has offsets built into the billet straps of the girth.
I have the Voltaire anatomical girth. The other girths say too far forward and caused rubs at his armpits. This one sits back more
The Total Saddle Fit fixed all of my issues. I highly recommend them.
Total Saddle Fit girths are super comfortable. Definitely worth the money.
I have no real recommendation here, but I have the CWD version of the anatomical girth and I hate it. It is either really loose on the front or and tight on back, or I’ll tighten one and it’s the opposite. It catches my half chap as I post. They seemed to have failed in there attempt at being anatomical.
