Surcingle longe lines, requires the use of a surcingle to thread the longe lines through the rings. Compared to a saddle, a surcingle allows more precise adjustment of side reins due to the placement of additional rings. While a saddle only provides one height to attach the rings (the girth buckles), and can be uneven or at the wrong position, a training surcingle places rings at more appropriate locations for ground work. Many surcingle designs allow the side reins to be attached at several different heights along the sides of the horse. When used without a saddle, a surcingle sits just
Girth (graph theory) coloring must be small and which therefore requires at least colors in any coloring. The odd girth and even girth of a graph are the lengths of a shortest odd cycle and shortest even cycle respectively. The circumference of a graph is the length of the "longest" cycle, rather than the shortest. Thought of as the least length of a non-trivial cycle, the girth admits natural generalisations as the 1-systole or higher systoles in systolic geometry. Girth is the dual concept to edge connectivity, in the sense that the girth of a planar graph is the edge connectivity of its
