Surcingle Surcingle A surcingle is a strap made of leather or leather-like synthetic materials such as nylon or neoprene, sometimes with elastic, that fastens around the horse's girth. A surcingle may be used for ground training, some types of in-hand exhibition, and over a saddle or horse pack to stabilize the rider's weight. It also is a primary component of a horse harness. A basic surcingle is unpadded, attaches around the horse by means of buckles or rings, and has no other hardware. A training surcingle, sometimes called a "roller," has many extra rings attached, running from the ribcage up to
Matroid girth oracle, it is impossible to find the girth using a subexponential number of matroid queries. Similarly, for a real linear matroid of rank , with elements, described by an oracle that gives the orientation of any -tuple of elements, it requires formula_1 oracle queries to determine the girth. Computations using a girth oracle (an oracle that reports the smallest dependent subset of a given set of elements) have also been considered. Matroid girth In matroid theory, a mathematical discipline, the girth of a matroid is the size of its smallest circuit or dependent set. The cogirth of a matroid is
