Camelot Web Training Surcingle
A surcingle is a strap made of leather or leather-like synthetic materials such as nylon or neoprene, sometimes with elastic, that fastens around a horse's girth area.
A surcingle may be used for ground training, some types of in-hand exhibition, and over a saddle or horse pack to stabilize the load. It also is a primary component of a horse harness.
A basic surcingle is unpadded, attaches around the horse by means of buckles or rings, and has no other hardware. A training surcingle, sometimes called a "roller," has many extra rings attached, running from the ribcage up to the withers area. It usually has padding to relieve pressure on the spine. A variation of this design is used for equestrian vaulting.
Uses of the Surcingle
A simple surcingle over a horse racing saddle
Detail of a training surcingle
Many trainers first teach a young horse to accept girth pressure by strapping on a surcingle before a saddle and girth.
The surcingle is commonly used for longeing, often as a base from which to attach training equipment such as side reins, overcheck, lauffer reins (sliding side reins), or chambons.
A surcingle is also important in long lining or ground driving, as it provides rings for the long reins to run through. Double longeing, using two longe lines, requires the use of a surcingle to thread the longe lines through the rings.
Compared to a saddle, a surcingle allows more precise adjustment of side reins due to the placement of additional rings. While a saddle only provides one height to attach the rings (the girth buckles), and can be uneven or at the wrong position, a training surcingle places rings at more appropriate locations for ground work. Many surcingle designs allow the side reins to be attached at several different heights along the sides of the horse.
Placement of the Surcingle
A surcingle (or roller) used for equestrian vaulting.When used without a saddle, a surcingle sits just behind the withers. When used with a saddle, the surcingle runs over the seat near the pommel.
A surcingle is also used over the top of certain types of pack saddle and pack to keep the pack bags and swag in place.
A surcingle is usually used with a pad, and fit to the horse's back as carefully as a saddle would be. It is tightened enough to prevent slipping, more when used with a saddle and rider, less when used for ground training. |

Just wanted to let
you know the saddle arrived yesterday. I am very pleased with it.
I believe it is a terrifec value for the money and it fits my hard to fit horse
like a glove.
Thank you so much for touching base with me when I was concerned about my
order.
I will be ordering more from you. You have gained a happy customer.
Thanks Again,

The
saddle arrived today! We'll check it out and let you know if there are
any other issues. I'm not sure what you did to get it here earlier, but
we appreciate it.

Hello, I received everything and it is perfect!!
My horse has also arrived and he is a little thinner than he
should be. He will grow into the 52, however, do you have a 50 in the
pessoa girths? If so, do you have it in Oak Bark and for how much.
thank you very much!!
Everything you did exceeded my
expectations! Thank you for making my first saddle purchase an amazing
one!! Becca
