The Waldhausen Half Moon Girth is specifically engineered for round-bellied horses and ponies, providing a specialized shape that prevents saddle slippage and keeps tack secure during riding sessions. Featuring a soft synthetic fur lining for enhanced comfort against the horse's skin, it offers a reliable, stable fit by utilizing a non-elastic design. While this lack of elastic ensures maximum stability, riders accustomed to the give of elasticized girths may notice a firmer feel during the initial tightening process.

Yes, the synthetic fur lining provides a soft barrier that helps distribute pressure and prevents chafing on sensitive areas.
While it is designed for stability, ensure your saddle type is compatible with short girths before use in jumping disciplines.
The non-elastic design is intentional to provide a more stable, secure fit, which is ideal for preventing saddle movement on round-bellied horses.
Measure your horse from the last hole on one side of the saddle to the corresponding hole on the other side, ensuring the saddle is centered.
It is recommended to hand-wash or gently clean the fur with a damp cloth and mild soap to avoid damaging the integrity of the buckles and the shape of the girth.
Ensure the girth is not being overtightened from one side only; tighten gradually on both sides to maintain center alignment.
Use a specialized synthetic fur brush to gently detangle the fibers after the sweat has dried to restore loft and softness.
To set up, ensure the curved side of the girth is positioned toward the horse's front legs to follow the natural contour of the ribcage. The girth is compatible with standard short dressage saddles or monoflap saddles featuring long girth billets. For maintenance, the synthetic fur lining should be brushed regularly with a soft curry comb or specialized brush to remove dirt, sweat, and hair. This prevents the fur from matting, which could otherwise lead to rubbing. The stainless steel buckles should be wiped clean with a damp cloth after every use to maintain smooth operation.
