Product Information

Full details

The Waldhausen Dressage Girth With Gel is designed for dressage riders who prioritize equine comfort and saddle stability. Featuring an integrated gel padding system, this girth excels at protecting sensitive skin in the girth area while ensuring the saddle remains securely positioned during complex movements. While it offers superior pressure distribution, users should note that the elastic inserts require careful adjustment to avoid over-tightening during initial use.

FAQs

Is this girth suitable for jumping saddles?

This model is specifically designed for the shorter billet straps used on dressage saddles and is not recommended for jumping saddles.

How do I choose the right length?

Measure from the bottom of the saddle flap on one side to the corresponding position on the other side. Ensure you account for the elastic stretch.

Can the gel padding leak?

The internal gel is securely sealed. Provided the product is not punctured or treated with sharp objects, it is designed to remain intact.

Is the material machine washable?

No, it should be cleaned by hand with a damp cloth to protect the integrity of the gel and the soft exterior material.

Does the girth come with a warranty?

Waldhausen products are manufactured to high standards. Please refer to your original point of purchase for specific regional warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Buckles are difficult to slide through billets

Clean the roller mechanism with a soft brush to remove hair or dirt buildup.

Girth feels uneven after a session

Re-center the girth before each use and ensure the horse is standing square during initial tightening.

Material showing signs of wear

Inspect for deep scratches and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners; use only mild soap and water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior pressure distribution due to integrated gel
  • High-quality, rust-resistant stainless steel hardware
  • Soft surface prevents rubs and skin irritation
  • Elastic ends facilitate easy adjustment and horse comfort

Cons

  • Requires regular cleaning to keep the soft surface material effective
  • Limited to dressage-specific saddle configurations
  • Elastic inserts may lose tension over long-term intensive use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, ensure the girth is centered symmetrically under the horse's belly. Utilize the elasticized side to provide a small amount of 'give' when the horse breathes. Always check that the billets are securely fastened in the roller buckles before mounting. For maintenance, wipe the girth down with a damp cloth after every use to remove sweat and dirt, which can dry and become abrasive. Periodically check the stainless steel buckles for any debris buildup. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the gel filling.
