The main strap on an English style saddle is called the girth. This is what keeps the saddle on the horse. But there are other types of straps also. There is what is called a 'breastcollar', which keeps the saddle from sliding back too far on the back. There is a 'crupper' which works the other way and keeps the saddle from moving too far forward. There are different kinds of martingales, standing or running, which are usually for training purposes but should only be used if you know what you are doing. This combines the breastcollar with the horse's bridle or bit. These are the most common types of straps but certainly not all available to equine enthusiests.
