| The popular PATROL POLEY has
been upgrade to big D rigging, working in conjunction with a double ring
surcingle. The two girth rings are connected with a tackaberry lacing to a
double-ring girth. First, the off-side is set with a tackaberry, and then
left in that position. The nearside, of course, is where the final
adjustment takes place. DIRECTIONS: Drop the girth ring over the lip of the
tackaberry buckle. Then pass the end of the tackaberry lacing up and over
the main ring attached to the saddle, Pull this down the backside and then
go out through the TOP slot of the buckle. Then take the end of the nylon
lacing up through the ring of the surcingle, with the point going toward the
horse. Then pull this down the backside and pull it through the BOTTOM slot
of the buckle, Now cinch gently, tugging whenever necessary on the lacings
to make sure the pull on both rings is even. When the desired tightness of
girth is attained, thread the left-over lacing down through the girth
keepers, and back up again, leaving a bit of tongue there to be pulled when
uncinching. The beauty of this system is that it FIRMLY cinches the saddle
with little effort. FOR QUICK CINCHING NEVER UNDO THE LACING,
ONCE IT HAS BEEN LOOSENED ENOUGH TO RELEASE THE GIRTH RING. . LEAVE
IT GOING THRU THE GIRTH RING AND SURCINGLE RING.

How to use a tackaberry Buckle to center-fire a double
rigged saddle.
Some riding animals, especially mules,
need to have the girth set back. This is easy to do with a saddle that has
back cinch rings. The standard tackaberry lacing
makes center-firing even easier, nylon lacing moves best.
1/ Hook the lip of the buckle on the girth ring, facing out.
2/ Pass the end of the nylon lacing through the front ring and pull it down
the back and pass it through the TOP slot of the buckle, with the billet
point coming at you.
3/ Take the lacing up to the top ring and pass it through, pulling it down
the back side and then passing it through the BOTTOM slot, Billet point
coming out at you.
4/ Place girth at desired location, then cinch to desired tightness.
5/ Repeat on the off-side.
6/ Make sure the location of the girth is the same on both sides of the
animal, and that the tension on the takaberry is
also equal.
