How tight should you tighten a girth with a medium tree dressage saddle?
The "tree" size has nothing to do with how tight to girth your saddle - what's more important, is "how" you tighten the girth. After you have groomed your horse, placed the saddle pad and saddle on your horse, you are now ready to attach the girth. It is recommend to use a girth that has elastic on both ends of the girth, this allows for ease of girthing and allows expansion of the horses ribcage during riding. Attach the girth on the right side of the saddle first and then reach under the horse and bring the girth up to the left side and tighten the girth only enough to keep the saddle on while the horse is standing. Bridle your horse and hand walk your horse for a few minutes, be sure to circle in both directions (left and right), stop your horse and tighten the girth snug enough that this saddle will stay in place when you mount. Ride at a walk for 5 or 10 minutes, stop and recheck your girth and tighten the girth again as needed to be snug enough to stay in place. If at any time during your ride, you feel the saddle shift, you will need to re-tighten the girth. It's important that the girth is tight enough to keep the saddle in place, but not so tight the horse is uncomfortable. Check to see that you are placing equal weight in each stirrup while riding.
Do you losen the girth belt when someone is about toget on the horse and ride?
NO!!!!! You tighten the girth, not loosen it! The saddle could slip off the horse and horse and rider could both get seriously or even fatally injured!!!!No, If you do this the saddle can slip and the ridder will fall off when trying to mount the horse.No, but if the horse gets spooked very easily then you can make the decision if you want to. But, I have never heard of any on who does. You may want to tighten it before trotting or anything faster.no the saddle will slip under the horse and this can cause the hrse to startle you have to make sure its tight and then once you have ridden you may loosen the girth!

When riding sidesaddle what piece of the tack attaches to the main girth to fasten the saddle more safely on the horse?
If your sidesaddle is English it will most likely have three girths: 1. The main girth is a Standard English girth - this would be the same type of girth you would use on a regular "astride" saddle. If you have a "girthie" horse, consider a fleece lined girth for your horses comfort. 2. The second girth is a "Balance Strap" - not all sidesaddles have a "Balance Strap", if it does not have a balance strap it is not meant for Jumping. It prevents the saddle from popping up or shifting to the left if the rider is not balanced. The Balance Strap should be snug but not as snug and the main saddle girth. Note: Some sidesaddles have the "Balance Strap" sewn to the saddle and you would buckle the balance strap to the first billet. 3. The third girth is an "Over-girth", it holds down the flaps of the saddle and you would only need to fasten it tight enough to keep the saddle flaps secure.
