Thanks for this video and you have done a great job demonstrating the over girth and saddle placement. I'm having trouble with the girth buckles coming up to the sweat panels. I've tried a shorter girth and still face the same problem, only this time it is encountering the saddle pad. I notice in your video that the girth buckles never reach the bottom edge of the sweat flap, so is it a matter of the saddle type having too long of flaps for some body types of horses?
Thank you for your comment! There are some different ways of girthing for different saddles. If you have more questions do not hesitate to contact me +44 1337 870489
Firstly saddle cloths were developed to foremost prevent horse's sweat to get to the saddle. So the saddle should fit the well that it does not require a cloth to prevent sores. Secondly this is a demo on how to girth a stock saddle so in everyday use a numnah or saddle cloth is advisable.

Loved this video. I'm getting an aussie saddle and this is just what I needed to see. I've never saddled up aussie style before. :)

What are you doing idiot? You want to give your horse sores? Use a bloody saddle cloth, I'm sure $15-$20 out of your pocket won't hurt C=
