Saddle attachments

[josr]

I was recently at a show and saw a competitor with an attachment going from under the skirts on each side which went down to the horses flanks and between its back legs and then attached back to the cantle of the saddle. Could someone please explain what purpose this attachment has???

Thanks in advance!!

Sounds like the equipment to, erm, hold a stallions bits.
