Fairfax Classic GP Girthing
Fairfax Classic GPs have three billets (straps), with the third one being moveable.
The saddle fitter will begin with the neutral position – 2nd and 3rd billets
If the saddle moves forward, they will try the 1st (point strap) and 3rd billets
If the back of the saddle lifts, the saddle fitter will move the 3rd billet onto the floating balance position and use the 2nd and 4th positions
For increased stability (on a very round horse for eg) the saddle fitter may use the 1st (point strap) and 4th position
DO NOT GIRTH USING THE 1st and 2nd BILLETS TOGETHER - this will cause saddle instability
