The SMART X-over breastgirth is the only design that is fitted with straps that move and stretch independently.
It is important that the design of any breastgirth does not hamper the movement of the scapula, but in order to be of any benefit, it must be fitted so that there is some tension on the saddle and the girth - for this reason, it is essential that the straps are fully elasticated.
Easy to use:
Simply clip the lower
strap to the top D-rings and the top strap to the knee-D rings.
(The breastgirth should NOT be attached to the to girth billets. All multi-discipline SMART saddles come with knee D-rings as standard.)
Security and stability:
The girth
strap helps the girth to stay in place and ensures it does not slide back.
Perfect fit:
The SMART X-over
breastgirth should fit snugly when the horse is standing, as it will be looser when the neck is raised
in movement. The tension should be equal on all straps, the leather straps are designed to be adjusted
as needed.
