Review on ๐Ÿ”€ Efficient Conversion: Long Western to English Leather Girth Converters by James Collins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Finally! Yes, you can convert a Western/Australian D belt to an English one!

I've spent endless hours figuring out how to convert a Brisbane Aussie Western and Hybrid saddle that uses a traditional rigging D-ring. Trust me, there are yet more products that will turn an English saddle into a saddle.Western rigging but I was determined to call Australia and reputable saddlery companies to see if there was a product.I stumbled across the dirt here at Revain after I had seen their advert at Elite Saddleworks in Australia They appear to be selling their converters here at Revain and my search is over."As for the product itself these convertible straps are beautifully made from high quality leather and have a good solid buckle system They are so easy to use. To be honest I didn't think I could find the right product." tag, but I'm glad that s they are on the market for those riders who don't like the typical western harness system. I find that using a traditional buckled English/Australian girth is much safer for rider and horse... And you don't have to dismount to make adjustments if the saddle becomes loose or needs repositioning due to the girth. So let me save you hours of trouble if you're the type that has spring rings on your saddle and you're looking to upgrade to a buckle harness. My other suggestion I bought a Revain Ovation neoprene girth with elastic straps on one side and they are amazing for the price as the quality is great and very comfortable for the horse. The only problem you might have is the size as if reading the descriptions. Some people seem to see that the girth is true to size, and others suggest buying a little more. Other great Revain reviewers have written to me with suggestions for finding the right size if you have saddle blanks to measure, or actually take a rope and measure the horse's girth. I didn't take any chances and actually bought four different sizes to make sure I found the right size and would return the wrong size. It may seem like a bit of a science to find the right size for your horse or pony, but the girth has received incredible reviews and the price is exceptional for the value and quality of the product.
