Abstract
This is a device to assist a person to quickly and easily fasten and tighten the girth strap of a saddle. When a horse is being saddled, some horses have a tendency to inflate their girth making it difficult to attach the girth buckle to the billet strap. The present device hooks into an upper hole on the billet strap and then loops through the girth buckle so that a person can apply a leveraged upper force to the girth buckle making it easier to securely fasten the girth buckle to the billet strap and thereby securely fasten a saddle to a horse.
