So how fair is the Fairfax?

£220 for a girth you've got to be kidding me?

Yes cards on table am a complete cynic but none the less as my lovely saddler has them to try thought I'd see what the hype is about.

Day 0 Tuesday 6th August  20:30 sand/rubber Fairfax

So the potential confounding factors

recent physio (Mon)
recent saddle adjustment (30 minutes previously!)
sand/rubber school (usually ride in other school)
riding in evening (usually ride am) - so not been in overnight, had not run out of hay

All I could say is WOW the walk was huge and he was really stretching, saddle adjustment felt great too


Day 1 Wednesday 7th August  08:00 Fibresand Usual girth

So felt better than he had been feeling before physio/saddler more active walking out than I had been getting, less stretch down than last night but normal.
