when measuring a girth, do you measure from buckle end to buckle end or just below the buckle to just below the buckle at other side, thanks
I have just emailed the place where I got my girth from, they have said buckle bar to buckle bar, so it only measures 53", that's 3" short. I hate sending things back,
In that case all of mine are short by about 2". Obviously these manufacturers don't possess a tape measure!
You measure from the part of the buckle where the pin attaches, to the same on the other side.
This is the correct place, but a few cheaper manufacturers do go end to end, which is meaningless really as some buckles are really long and some stubby, so the first way is the only way that is consistent, as this is the measurement that will be consistent to the size of your horse.
