WOW's Military Girthing is useful in a variety of instances where additional lateral stability is needed or when the girth groove falls marginally in the first quarter or cleanly into the second quarter, and the saddle needs to be held more forward onto the shoulder.
 
Military Girthing should not be used on horses that require a Point Strap or Foregirth, as the action of a Military Girth (forward) is at odds with the action of a Point Strap or Foregirth (backwards).
