FAQs

What type of leather is used?

How do I clean and maintain the girth?

Can I attach a breastplate to this girth?

Yes, the central carabiner clip is designed for easy attachment of martingales or other training aids.

Is this girth suitable for jumping?

Yes, the girth is shaped to protect the underside of the horse when jumping and offers freedom of movement.

What sizes are available?

The girth is available in a wide range of sizes, from 30 inches to 60 inches (75cm to 150cm).

What are the fittings made of?

All fittings are made of high-quality stainless steel.

Does the girth have elastic?

Troubleshooting

Girth appears too stiff initially

New leather can be stiff. Condition the leather with a suitable leather conditioner and work the girth gently to soften it before first use.

Buckles are difficult to tighten

Ensure the roller on the buckle is correctly positioned. If resistance persists, check for any debris in the buckle mechanism and clean if necessary.

Horse seems uncomfortable or rubs

Double-check the sizing and ensure the girth is not overtightened. Make sure the anatomical contour is sitting correctly on the horse's sternum and that the leather is clean and conditioned.

Elastic appears stretched or worn

Inspect the triple-layer elastic regularly. If significant stretching or wear is observed, it may be time to consider replacement to ensure optimal comfort and function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Attach the girth to the billets on both sides of the saddle. Ensure the buckles are tightened evenly to provide a snug but comfortable fit for your horse. Use the roller on the buckles to ease tightening. The central carabiner can be used to attach a martingale or training aid securely.

Compatibility:

This girth is compatible with most standard saddles that have girth billets. It is designed to work with various training aids that can be attached to a central D-ring or clip. Available in a wide range of sizes from 30" to 60" (75cm to 150cm) to fit most horses.

Care:

Clean the girth regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. For best results and to maintain the leather's quality, use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can dry out and crack the leather. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure stainless steel fittings are kept clean to prevent corrosion.
