Wow Saddle Fore Girth Option
Fore Girth Option for Wow saddles The Fore Girth Option keeps the forward strap in line with the girth groove. In cases where the girth groove falls forward of the saddle, usually on horses with no wither and croup high, it can be difficult to fit the saddle so that it doesn't move forward. To alleviate this problem the people at Wow Saddles (First Thought Equine) have developed this extra component that fits between the panel and the flap that holds the front strap actually forward of the saddle. This can be removed at a later date by just unbolting it! Unlike a traditional fore girth there is nothing over the wither apart from the saddle. The biggest problem with this type of horse is that it general works on its forehand. Because the saddle never keeps in place the chances of the horse developing a wither and using its’ shoulders correctly are poor. By keeping the saddle back and in position the horse is more able to work correctly and come up in the shoulder and the wither. The fore girth option can then be removed when this is achieved.
