Stupid question about the Equilibrium Massage Pad…

just got one of these and love it, but the belly straps I am not sure if they’re meant to be crossed or not? I assumed they were like a rug, but then every picture on social media I’ve seen of them being used the straps are not crossed, so I am a bit unsure if it even matters or if there is a ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ way?

ive tried it both and do find it sits better on my horse when they aren’t crossed ? not sure if it matters or not, if anyone knows I’m quite curious!

Yes, I think the middle one is supposed to come straight across but the two outer are supposed to be crossed.
ETA many apologies, just realised this is only applicable to the older version (which I have) - not sure on the version with only two belly straps, sorry!

I don't cross them on my Appy (not sure they'd reach!) but I do cross them on the pony just for stability.

It doesn't really matter so long as its stable, stays on the back and doesn't end up under their belly. I did give my old boy a 15 minute belly massage once when I took my eye off him to fill haynets.
