FAQs

How do I measure for the correct girth size?

Use a soft measuring tape. Measure from the middle of the billets on one side, around the horse's girth area, to the middle of the billets on the other side. Add a few inches to allow for comfort and movement.

How often should I clean the SupaFleece girth?

Wipe it down after each ride. Deep clean as needed, typically every few rides or when visibly soiled.

Can I use this girth for all disciplines?

Yes, it is suitable for most English riding disciplines.

What are the benefits of the elastic inserts?

The elastic inserts allow for greater flexibility and comfort, especially during movement.

What are the fittings made of?

The fittings are made of stainless steel.

Is the girth machine washable?

Check the care label for specific washing instructions.

How do I maintain the SupaFleece material?

Regularly brush the fleece to maintain its loft and softness. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Girth is causing rubs or chafing.

Check the fit. Ensure the girth is the correct size, properly positioned, and not over-tightened. Consider using a girth sleeve or pad.

Girth slips or moves during riding.

Ensure the girth is correctly attached to the saddle billets. Check the billets for wear and tear. Tighten the girth gradually, and consider using a non-slip pad.

Fleece appears matted or dirty.

Clean the girth regularly with a damp cloth or wash it according to the care instructions. Consider using a soft brush to restore the fleece.
