Watch Julie Goodnight explain how to rig your Circle Y trail saddle with the 3-way adjustable in-skirt rigging.

That was extremely helpful! Thank you Julie! Just got a Circle Y JBN treeless for my very hard to fit appendix paint and was trying to figure out what to do with the the 3-way rigging as I had not used it before. Now I just need to determine the best position for him specifically. :-)

Thank you. Exactly what I needed to watch

[@janemckay8705]

Really good video and nicely explained thank you.

[@DW-yq4zn]

Thank you. Been wondering about this!

[@samlewis5541]

what kind of rigging would be best for a high wither but wide shouldered horse?

[@pittielove]

How do you finish the tie for the 7/8 position? Also curious what the other side looks like? Do you use two Latigos?

[@CircleYSaddles]

Hello! You will finish by securing the tie strap with the girth buckle. Run the excess tie strap up to the keeper. On the offside depending how much strap is left, you can run through the keeper on the cinch, take it up to the saddle keeper if you have one on the off side, or secure at the rigging dee. You do the other side EXACTLY as you do the on side. No matter which rigging you use, you must do the same on each side or it will make your saddle feel crooked and off. I hope this helps. Thanks!

For the 7/8 rigging, does it matter which ring you use for the starting point? I’ve seen both ways so unsure what is correct.

[@janemckay8705]

Good question. As I was watching the video I was thinking better to start at the front to reduce the bulk under your leg.

What pad is on that horse?

[@mikemalone7980]

how do you finish it off using the prong?

[@CircleYSaddles]

Hello! Yes, that's right. You'll use one of the holes in the latigo to securely fasten it to the cinch so it stays in place. Then run the excess latigo up the latigo carrier.

What she doesn't mention is the hell you go through, just TRYING to find a latigo for a in skirt rigged saddle. My Simco balanced ride saddle has 3-way rigging, and so far I've tried no less than 3 latigos--two leather & 1 nylon, with no luck so far. I'm on SSD and live in the city. I rarely ride any longer, but when I do, I want to be able to use my own saddle, which is most comfortable for me with my physical limitations. But I can't use it anymore, because the old latigo got ripped last time out. And damned if I can find a replacement--short of something I can't afford, which is having one custom made. So before you buy an inskirt rigged saddle--either buy one already with a latigo strap, or buy the strap FIRST and make sure it fits, BEFORE you buy that saddle, or you're looking at some headaches.

Your problem really confuses me, I use a 3 way in skirt rigged saddle with two nylon latigos with no problem. Both sides need to be the same latigo vs. an off billet for standard rigging
