How should a Western girth fit?
Short girths are usually for dressage. The girth shouldn’t feel too tight, but tight enough that the saddle won’t shift while riding. When checking, make sure there’s enough space to fit three to four fingers between the girth and your horse.
Where should a Western girth sit on a horse?
The lowest point your cinch should sit is 3-4″ above the elbow. This allows clearance and no interference when riding. The best way to get an accurate cinch size is to take a string and hold it on one side 3-4″ above the elbow. Then you run it under the horse, to the same point on the other side.
