A good fit is essential to ensure saddle stability, freedom of movement for the horse, and its comfort during work. Thanks to its natural flexibility, cotton easily conforms to the horse's shape, provided the size and positioning are appropriate.

The girth's length should allow the buckles to reach the bottom of the billets, without rising too high or being too close to the elbow. A girth that is too short creates excessive pressure points, while one that is too long compromises saddle stability.

The girth should be positioned naturally in the horse's girth groove, without being artificially pulled forward or backward.
Girth tightening should be gradual and symmetrical. It is recommended to tighten alternately on each side, in several stages, to respect the horse's rib cage and promote an even distribution of pressure. Once tightened, the girth should be firm but not excessive: you should be able to fit two fingers between the girth and the horse's belly.

Finally, after a few minutes of walking, a slight adjustment may be necessary. Regular checking of the fit, especially for horses whose physique is changing, ensures comfort, performance, and durability of the equipment.
