Essential for girthy horses!

After a poor-fitting saddle and a bout of ulcers, my horse (Blue) was extremely girthy to the point where it was unsafe to tack him up. I bought this in hopes that it would give me more "wiggle room" when doing up his girth so that I could teach him that it doesn't hurt anymore. After several weeks of work with lots of positive reinforcement (scratches and treats!) Blue is nearly cured! The first day using this tool it took almost an hour to do up his girth, and now it only takes about 5 minutes (we may have gone further if I was riding more, it's too cold this time of year unfortunately). I cannot stop singing the praises of this tool to everyone in my barn. This is how I used the girth extender: Once it was time to do up the girth, I would use the extra length to slowly introduce different motions involved with doing up the girth without it ever actually touching his belly. As soon as Blue relaxed, he was rewarded. I would go up a hole on either side, then reward when he relaxed. Slowly it would go from visibly hanging off of his body to being slightly snug. Eventually, the extender would be really high up on the billets, meaning it was time to swap to just the girth itself. I would undo one billet at a time so that it could maintain tension while removing the girth extender. Patience is essential to this process, but so incredibly rewarding!

Smart Choice

I got a new saddle back in October, which happens to have shorter than normal billets. Because I ride a number of different horses of different shapes and sizes throughout the week, I bought this girth extender. It was such a great choice, and it gives a great range of extension, from very little to a whole lot (for our darling fatty ponies). The girth extender is so much more affordable than buying new girths. I don't even have to bother searching for larger girths in the tack room (with crossed fingers that I'll even find one), nor do I have to worry about irritating my mounts. How would you like someone to tack you up and suddenly clamp right to a fully (perhaps overtight) girth? Ouch! So happy with my purchase. The leather is thick and durable. The extender is not the greatest quality in the world, but, if that's your concern, you might as well just go buy a bigger girth. It's easy to use, and I've been happy with it for over a year now.

Handy to have

I had recently bought a new saddle that had considerably shorter billet straps so that my girth no longer fit. The girth extender allowed me to save money on having to get another girth, but the bonus was that you can't even tell that it is there. Also love that it had roller bars to save the wear and tear on the billet straps. Certainly worth having on hand, especially given the price as compared to getting a new girth..
