After purchase, we recommend checking that the shape of the girth suits your horse. It just takes a few simple steps to efficiently check the fit. First, to properly adjust the girth, you need to check the position of the saddle. It should be placed behind the shoulder. Once the saddle is placed correctly, you can check that the forelimbs are free to move by placing a flat hand between your girth and the back of the horse's elbows.
