FAQs

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your current girth from end of buckle to end of buckle and ensure the new girth matches that length, accounting for any extra length needed for the elastic ends.

Is this girth machine washable?

It is recommended to hand wash with cool water and mild soap to maintain the shape and elasticity of the components.

Can I use this for show jumping?

Yes, the inclusion of D-rings makes it perfectly suitable for attaching martingales or breastplates used in jumping.

What is the benefit of the waffle lining?

The waffle lining increases surface area for moisture wicking and reduces the chance of skin chafing compared to flat leather or synthetic materials.

Does this girth work with all saddle types?

The anatomic shape is compatible with most English saddles, including dressage and jumping models.

Troubleshooting

Girth feels too tight or restricted

Verify that you are using the correct length and ensure the elastic inserts have room to stretch during movement.

Build-up of dirt in the waffle texture

Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp sponge to gently work debris out of the grid patterns after the girth has dried.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces the risk of girth galls due to the soft waffle texture
  • Ergonomic fit allows for better freedom of movement at the shoulders
  • Elastic ends make it easier to tighten while mounted
  • Integrated rings provide flexibility for training equipment

Cons

  • Requires careful measurement to ensure the correct size
  • Waffle material requires thorough cleaning to remove sweat and debris
  • Limited to black colorway options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, measure your horse from the center of the girth area on one side to the corresponding point on the other. Ensure the girth is centered correctly under the horse's sternum to take advantage of the contoured shape.

Care Instructions:

  1. After each ride, wipe down the waffle lining with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dirt buildup.
  2. Regularly inspect the elastic and buckles for any signs of wear or cracking.
  3. Allow the girth to air dry completely in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the material.
