Product Information

Full details

The Kieffer Ultrasoft Short Girth is designed for equestrians who prioritize horse comfort through ergonomic design and superior pressure distribution. Featuring an anatomical shape and high-quality leather construction, it is ideal for riders seeking stability and a precise fit during training or competition, though it lacks elasticated inserts, which some riders may prefer for extra breathability during intense exercise.

FAQs

Is this girth suitable for horses with sensitive skin?

Yes, the anatomical shape and extra-wide design are specifically crafted to distribute pressure evenly and minimize irritation.

Does this model include rings for training aids?

No, this specific model is a clean, non-elastic design without rings, focusing on pure stability.

How do I choose the correct length?

Measure the distance between your girth billets while the saddle is on the horse and account for the length of your girth straps to ensure the buckle ends sit well above the horse's elbow.

Why is there no elastic in this girth?

The absence of elastic provides a more stable, non-elastic connection, which many riders prefer for high-precision disciplines.

How often should I condition the leather?

Depending on usage and climate, conditioning every 2-4 weeks is generally recommended to maintain the leather's integrity.

Troubleshooting

Girth feels difficult to tighten

Ensure the roller buckles are clean of grit and apply a small amount of leather-safe lubricant if necessary.

Leather becoming stiff

Clean thoroughly with a leather soap and apply a generous amount of leather conditioner to restore suppleness.

Saddle shifting during work

Verify the girth is centered correctly and check that the billets on your saddle are in good condition.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Anatomical cut reduces interference with horse movement
  • Extra-wide surface area helps prevent pressure points
  • High-quality leather ensures long-lasting durability
  • Roller buckles allow for quick and easy adjustment while mounted

Cons

  • Lacks elasticated inserts, offering less 'give' than some other models
  • Non-elastic design requires careful, consistent tightening
  • Requires regular leather maintenance to prevent stiffening

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper fit, measure your horse from the middle of the saddle girth points on one side to the same point on the other. Ensure the girth is centered symmetrically to avoid uneven pressure.

Care Instructions:

  • Clean after every use to remove sweat and dirt using a soft damp cloth.
  • Use a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material soft and prevent cracking.
  • Inspect the leather for signs of wear, particularly near the buckle holes and the stitching, to ensure safety.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
