As a general rule fit the girth's top edge as close to the bottom edge of the saddlecloth as possible when fully tightened. Obviously this depends on the size of the saddlecloth so an alternative guide on a dressage saddle is to have just two billet holes remaining on both sides of the saddle. Caring for your Prolite Girth: A build-up of dried sweat on the girth will interfere with the Prolite's breathability. This may eventually cause the girth to lose its flexibility and become hard. All that's needed to maintain the girth is a bucket of water plus a cloth or soft brush. A mild detergent can be added to the water if the girth is very dirty. Simply dunk the girth in the water and use the cloth/brush to gently remove any stubborn grime or dirt. Remove as much water as possible with a towel then allow the girth to dry completely before using again. There is no need to apply any further deleted/products.
