hi, ive bought a used saddle and cannot for the life of me work out how to girth it. Ive looked on websites and still get stuck! I got a second hand saddle first before buying a new one just to see how we get on. If you can help i would be very greatful!
The kit we have is as follows:
one western saddle with AR embossed on the leather, no idea what make, any clues?
the saddle has one longer strap attached to front d ring, it is treble thickness and appears fixed together as one long strap. It has holes in it.
The other side of saddle ( right side) has a shorter strap, also with holes in but the strap appears folded in two and fixed at the d ring with a small leather thread.
I have one cinch with one buckle end and one d ring and a second cinch with two buckles on from Big Horn ( a Tuffy girth)
Any help would be so much appreciated!
thanks!

Hi

New to Western myself not quite sure if I can be much help from the description that you have given. However if you take a look at this link it might be of some help?
