girthy
the girth is a wide leather strap that holds the saddle on the horse’s back. You kinda knew something did. It wouldn’t just sit on top of the thing while you were galloping across la mesa jumping adolescent saguaro, digging the spur into the hot flank, hips bucking beneath you, flesh rippling with the pounding of shod hooves into a desert floor. It’s gotta have this big flat leather thing that is like a belt around the horse’s waist and you go and sit on the belt buckle. Think of it that way.
