Has anyone had any experience of these girths? My saddler has asked me to trial one for him, but I've heard mixed reviews. One lady hated it said he saddle felt unstable & yet another loved it wouldn't have any other girth. I'm curious as the principle behind them sounds great, but I don't want to risk swinging around the Ninjas belly if it doesn't do it job

Never seen one but would be interested to hear comments.
The theory sounds good, but it will not cure a badly fitting saddle - if the saddle fits and is stable on the horse you should be able to ride with a loose girth anyway. Also unless the centre elasticated section is stuck to the horse surely the girth would slide round rather than the 2 bits of elastic stretching and contracting respectively.

I tried one last year and hated it. It's like seat belt material. I'm sure some people find they work but it wasn't for me.

No harm in trialling it, but as Quarabian suggests, do it under controlled conditions until you are happy with it.

Hmm I'm tempted!! Our problem was forwards slippage rather than side to side, and after point straps being added & Sunnys shoulders slowly building, our saddle stays put YAY! May be a silly question but how do you know if it's tight enough Taranstorm, also what saddle do you use it with? Manufacturers state that it doesn't suit all types of horse nor all types of saddle. I'm curious but not sure if I'm curious enough to try it on the Ninja 4 yo
