To secure a load using a girth hitch with an extra turn for added stability, first pass the rope around the object and then through the loop created. Next, make an additional turn around the object before finishing with a final pass through the loop. This method provides increased security and stability for the load.
4XL means extra large (girth) ... 4XLT means extra large tall (height).
Probably yes. But it will depend on the manufacturer.
You don't: the saddle will slide off. On English saddles, riders readjust the girth after they've been given a leg-up and are on the horse; with Western saddles, mounting requires that the saddle can hold your weight in the stirrup as you pull yourself onto the saddle, and the girth must be cinched securely.
A lug is a leather strap or piece of material used to help secure a horse's saddle in place. It is typically attached to the front of the saddle and connects to the girth to prevent the saddle from shifting or sliding around during riding. This provides stability and comfort for the horse and rider.

Girth sore or Girth Galls. these can be prevented by cleaning the horse and the girth just before tacking up.
There is no known measurement for the tightness of a horses girth. All horses are different sizes and should have their girths tighted accordingly. To adjust the girth to correctly fit your horse you place the two outside Girth Straps into the buckles and tighten it until you can only fit 2 fingers between the horse and the girth. When you do this you will feel pressure. It is important to tighten the girth correctly as if it is too lose the saddle can slide forwards and backwards creating sores known as saddle sores. If the Girth is too tight you can interfere with the horses breathing as it can restrict the movement of the horses lungs. I hope this info is useful..... have fun !
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.
More material is added on its outside from year to year (giving rise to annual growth rings).
No one can ignore his girth.
