FAQs

How do I choose the right size?

Measure from the billets on one side of the saddle to the same position on the other side, passing under the horse's belly.

Is this girth machine washable?

It is recommended to hand wash the girth with mild soap and water to protect the integrity of the elastic inserts and buckle attachments.

What is the benefit of the Ultra Dri Zone?

It actively wicks moisture away from the horse's skin, reducing the accumulation of sweat which can cause chafing and skin sensitivity.

Does the elastic go on both sides?

Yes, the Shires Burghley Girth features double-layer elastic inserts at both ends to ensure even pressure distribution.

Can this be used for jumping?

Yes, it is suitable for general-purpose use, including jumping, provided it is the correct length and properly fitted to the horse.

Troubleshooting

Buckles feel stiff to adjust

Check for debris or dried sweat around the roller pins. Rinse with water and ensure they are dry before applying a light lubricant if necessary.

Girth sliding during mounting

Ensure the girth is tightened appropriately and check that your saddle pad is correctly positioned. If the problem persists, ensure you are using the correct length for your horse.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent sweat management via Ultra Dri Zone technology
  • Pressure-relieving elastic inserts enhance horse comfort
  • Easy-to-adjust roller buckles save time during tacking up
  • Breathable material helps prevent overheating and skin irritation
  • Durable, easy-to-clean construction

Cons

  • Elastic inserts may lose tension over long periods of heavy use
  • Limited to black color option
  • Not intended for specialized high-impact disciplines requiring anatomical shaping

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a proper fit, measure your horse from the middle of the girth area on one side to the corresponding point on the other. Ensure the girth is centered correctly beneath the horse to allow the elastic inserts to function equally on both sides. When tightening, always bring the girth up gradually to avoid discomfort. For care, the web fabric is easy to maintain; simply brush off dried sweat or dirt after each ride. If the girth becomes heavily soiled, it can be hand-washed with mild, equine-safe detergent and air-dried away from direct heat sources to preserve the elasticity of the inserts.
