The girth, by the way is made by Wintec!
Now, compare that to this unique balance strap. Enlarge the antique photo if you need to to get a better look.
Here is the picture Lexie referred to. I would love to know how much this saddle sold for!

That reminds me of some dressage saddle rigging I have seen. Even riding astride with rigging like that is nice because the saddle does not slip!
Very interesting
Very funny that you should mention this type of balance strap! I just went and looked at a saddle with the same rigging at auction last week, and was talking about it over at http://www.sidesaddlegirl.co.uk
I here is a link to the pictures I took of it.

Though, silly me, I didn't take a picture of the off side because that's the picture in the auction catalog, but it's still here: http://auctionsfind.com/theoldtownhall/6958_2010-11-27theoldtownhall/nov027.jpg The pocket was very cute, though torn.
I'm trying to find out what it went for. I do believe the tree is broken, which is why I didn't bid on it.
