It’s a nice well made girth that fits my horse well. However it’s difficult to do up the billets.

My horse is much more comfortable
My horse told us in no uncertain terms that he really likes this, by the way he moves in his overall attitude.

Beautifully made girth and great idea
I bought this when I needed a new TSF girth, as I've been using the regular TSF shoulder relief girths for a while. I was very excited to try this. It is very well made, and I love the idea. Unfortunately, when I tried it (twice), it was as if there was just too much elastic. My saddle was very unstable, and I kept feeling like I simply couldn't tighten the girth enough even though there was no possible way I could get it any tighter (and I felt that sort of negated the purpose anyway). I tried the regular TSF girth again, and no problems with stability. My horse has a very sprung ribcage even though he has a prominent wither, though not a shark fin by any stretch. I'm wondering if that just makes there be more movement or something, as I know people who just love this girth. I returned it and bought a regular TSF girth since he is happy in it. It was definitely worth a try.

Improved leather quality
I have used this girth before, but I needed a longer one with my new saddle. The one I received this time had better quality leather, softer, and a little more padded feeling. My chunky horse seems to like it.

Good with the bad
I would describe this girth as “ok”. It does its job overall, but in the first month the stitching separating the two keepers came apart so they billets are in one larger keeper. And the magnets in the buckles are so strong, that when untacking, you have to wedge fingers in to release the buckle. Annoying. But other than these two items, a decent girth that fits my horse well and stays in place while riding. So I’ve kept it and decided to live with the small annoyances.

Amazing!!
My large Hanoverian has always had issues with being girthy, and the girth offten times pinches when we ride. I have been wanting to try out the total saddle fit girth for a while. Well I finally had enough with my old girth pinching and a unhappy horse. When I got the girth, I thought it might not fit it is a 28 and Fagan's old girth is a 30. But it fits super well, and no more unhappy girthy horse. Fagan moves much for freer, and no more saddle slipping.

Well made, keeps saddle from slipping forward
I've had this girth for several years and it looks like new. It's extra wide in the middle so the front can drop a bit (floats) allowing the muscles to slide easily like the Fairfax Performance at a much more affordable price.

Warps over time, big pressure point.
Nothing against Smartpak, just the girth. I bought into the craze but the thing warps in the frontmost section where it bulges out/forward. All the pressure is put along the back side. I could literally put my hand on the gap
