Why Does My Saddle Slide Forward? Here’s the Fix
Why Does My Saddle Slide Forward?
Here’s the Fix!
If you’ve ever asked, “Why does my saddle get pulled forward into the withers?” you’re not alone. This is one of the top issues riders face—and it all starts with how the girth interacts with the saddle and your horse’s anatomy.
Let’s explore the problem, the solution, and what riders are saying.
The Problem: Saddle Pulled Into the Withers and Restricted Shoulder Movement
Traditional girths often don’t match the angle or curvature of the billets. When tightened, they can drag the saddle forward—pressing onto the withers. This causes:
Discomfort or pinching across the withers
Restricted front leg/elbow movement, limiting stride
Imbalance and poor saddle stability
Rider compensation and alignment issues
The Solution: County Logic Girth
The County Logic Girth is engineered to prevent these exact issues by providing anatomical alignment and freedom of movement:
Billet Alignment: Designed to line up with your saddle’s billets, preventing forward pull on the withers.
Elbow Clearance: Contoured shape gives complete clearance for the horse’s elbow, promoting a longer, freer stride.
Versions for Every Saddle: Available in both short and long versions—ensuring fit across disciplines and saddle types.
Free Shipping: Ships free to the U.S., making it an easy upgrade. countysaddlerystore.com
In short: The Logic Girth does what other girths don’t—it works with your horse’s structure, not against it.

"Great purchase!
Purchased girth to help with girth galls on my sensitive mare. So far, it’s prevented new sores and allowed her old sores to heal nicely! Soft leather and stays in place!"
