Medically, the term "girth" refers to the measurement around the waist. "Girth" usually describes someone who has gained a lot of belly fat.
A person with a large girth faces a higher risk of many medical conditions. When a person gains weight, extra calories are deposited as fat. Fat can begin to surround each organ--heart, liver, kidneys, etc.

Heart disease, heart attack, or stroke
Diabetes, with complications to kidneys, heart, blood vessels

How tight should you tighten a girth with a medium tree dressage saddle?
The "tree" size has nothing to do with how tight to girth your saddle - what's more important, is "how" you tighten the girth. After you have groomed your horse, placed the saddle pad and saddle on your horse, you are now ready to attach the girth. It is recommend to use a girth that has elastic on both ends of the girth, this allows for ease of girthing and allows expansion of the horses ribcage during riding. Attach the girth on the right side of the saddle first and then reach under the horse and bring the girth up to the left side and tighten the girth only enough to keep the saddle on while the horse is standing. Bridle your horse and hand walk your horse for a few minutes, be sure to circle in both directions (left and right), stop your horse and tighten the girth snug enough that this saddle will stay in place when you mount. Ride at a walk for 5 or 10 minutes, stop and recheck your girth and tighten the girth again as needed to be snug enough to stay in place. If at any time during your ride, you feel the saddle shift, you will need to re-tighten the girth. It's important that the girth is tight enough to keep the saddle in place, but not so tight the horse is uncomfortable. Check to see that you are placing equal weight in each stirrup while riding.
