Billet Straps

By Katherine Blocksdorf, About.com

Definition: Billets are straps of leather or webbing that the girth buckles attach to. On a dressage saddle the billet straps will be quite long, extending below the flaps. On forward seat, or all purpose saddles the billet straps are shorter and stop beneath the flaps.
